Housing temperature plays a critical role in determining gut microbiome composition in research mice: Implications for experimental reproducibility

Abstract excerpt

Preclinical mouse models are widely used for studying mechanisms of disease and responses to therapeutics, however there is concern about the lack of experimental reproducibility and failure to predict translational success. The gut microbiome has emerged as a regulator of metabolism and immunological processes in health and disease. The gut microbiome of mice differs by supplier and this affects experimental...
