Where this comes from

Abstract

Research of animal microbiomes is demonstrating that these host-microbe partnerships are on a profound circadian rhythm. Recently in Cell, Brooks et al. (2021) report that host rhythms drive behaviors of specific microbiome members, which orchestrate a coordination of the innate immune system with the circadian clock.
