Mathematical modelling led by @tsukushi_kamiya reveals the role of #nutrients in the stability of the vaginal #microbiota in a way that is consistent with #genomics and #metabolomics data shared by Jacques Ravel. This is one of the rare #models on this understudied #microbiome.

🙏 Thanks to the #FRM for funding Tsukushi's post-doctoral fellowship and to @PeerCommunityIn for the #open peer-review process ( @PLOSBiology editors did not require any additional review!).
