A Predictive Model Based on the Gut Microbiota Improves the Diagnostic Effect in Patients With Cholangiocarcinoma

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant hepatic tumor with a poor prognosis, which needs early diagnosis urgently. The gut microbiota has been shown to play a crucial role in the progression of liver cancer. Here, we explored a gut microbio...

Effects of dietary fungal lysozyme levels on growth performance, body composition, serum biochemical profile, and microbiota interaction in growing pigs.

Distinct Shifts in Microbiota Composition during Drosophila Aging Impair Intestinal Function and Drive Mortality

Alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiota have been correlated with aging and measures of frailty in the elderly. However, the relationships between microbial dynamics, age-related changes in intestinal physiology, and org...

Dynamic alterations in stool microbiota composition following faecal transplantation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Saccharomyces boulardii RC009 as an alternative to prophylactic antibiotics: effects on broiler chickens, performance, and gut microbiome

This study evaluates the effects of supplementing broiler chicken feed with the probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii RC009 as a sustainable alternative to prophylactic antibiotics. The focus was on productive performance, gut m...

Heme iron amplifies azoxymethane initiating effect on rat colon preneoplastic lesions

Objective: Colorectal cancer is a major public health issue for which dietary factors such as red and processed meat consumption seem to play a prominent role. Heme iron, which is present in important concentration in those food products, w...

Under Pressure: Interactions between Commensal Microbiota and the Teleost Immune System

Commensal microorganisms inhabit every mucosal surface of teleost fish. At these surfaces, microorganisms directly and indirectly shape the teleost immune system. This review provides a comprehensive overview of how the microbiota and micro...

A distinct gut microbiota composition in patients with ankylosing spondylitis is associated with increased levels of fecal calprotectin

Abstract Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) shares many characteristics with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intestinal microbiota most likely plays an important role in the development of IBDs and may also be involved in the pathogen...

Interacting roles of gut microbiota and T cells in the development of autoimmune hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive liver inflammatory disease mediated by an autoimmune response, with an increasing incidence rate. In severe cases, AIH will rapidly progress to liver cirrhosis and liver failure and even lead to d...

Gut and oral microbiota composition is associated with psychopathic personality: a cross-sectional study.

Mechanistic Insights Into How Acupuncture Modulates Host Immunity via the Gut Microbiota-Macrophage Axis.

The Microbiome Composition of a Man's Penis Predicts Incident Bacterial Vaginosis in His Female Sex Partner With High Accuracy

Background: We determined the predictive accuracy of penile bacteria for incident BV in female sex partners. In this prospective cohort, we enrolled Kenyan men aged 18–35 and their female sex partners aged 16 and older. We assessed BV at ba...

Gut Microbiota and Targeted Biomarkers Analysis in Patients With Cognitive Impairment

Gut microbial alteration is closely associated with brain disorders including cognitive impairment (CI). Gut microbes have the potential to predicate the development of diseases. However, the gut microbial markers for CI remain to be elucid...
