My kernel causality approach (in my R package generalCorr) is used and cited by Hyena Kang et al. (2022) in open access journal called Gut Microbes

In particular, kernel causality analysis revealed a causal effect of the abundance of Enterobacteriaceae on certain
surrogate markers of insulin resistance on NAFLD activity in the (high carb diet) HC group.
Consuming an HC diet is associated with alteration in the gut microbiome, impaired glucose
homeostasis, and upregulation of hepatic DNL genes, altogether contributing to NAFLD pathogenesis.
Kernel causality is proposed in my two papers
