giambo-2021-toxic-metal-exposure-gut-microbiota-review
Comprehensive synthesis of how arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, and trace metals reshape microbiota composition and functionality. This cross-metal framework enables WikiBiome to explain why multiple metals—whether individually or as an environmental metal burden—converge on the dysbiotic signatures observed across disease states.
