Protective Microbiota: From Localized to Long-Reaching Co-Immunity [PDF]
Resident microbiota do not just shape host immunity, they can also contribute to host protection against pathogens and infectious diseases. Previous reviews of the protective roles of the microbiota have focused exclusively on colonization resistance ...

Abstract The gut microbiota plays an essential role in host health by regulating gut barrier function and immune system homeostasis. However, research into the physiological and immunological functions of the gut microbiota using In Vitro models that mimic the immune environment of the gut remains limited. Herein, we developed the Gut Microbial Immune &

CRISPR-Cas Systems in Bacteroides fragilis, an Important Pathobiont in the Human Gut Microbiome
Background: While CRISPR-Cas systems have been identified in bacteria from a wide variety of ecological niches, there are no studies to describe CRISPR-Cas elements in Bacteroides species, the most prevalent anaerobic bacteria in the lower intestinal ...

Development of the preterm infant gut microbiome: a research priority. [PDF]
The very low birth weight (VLBW) infant is at great risk for marked dysbiosis of the gut microbiome due to multiple factors, including physiological immaturity and prenatal/postnatal influences that disrupt the development of a normal gut flora. However,

Intestinal Barrier Glycosylation for Gut Physiology and Pathology
ABSTRACT The intestinal barrier is a selective structure that safeguards the body from external threats while permitting nutrient absorption and immune surveillance. It consists of the outer mucus layer, the intermediate layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), and the inner layer of immune cells. The proteins in the mucus layer and within IECs are
