The Gut Microbiome as a Therapeutic Target in Alopecia Areata: Not Yet Part of the Patient Treatment Plan

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interest in the gut microbiome as a therapeutic target for treating alopecia areata (AA) has grown considerably. However, existing evidence remains limited and inconsistent. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to recommend microbiome‐directed testing and therapies to patients with AA.

The Oral‐Gut Axis: Bidirectional Interactions Between Microbiome and Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This study aims to summarize the mechanisms underlying ectopic colonization of the gut by oral pathobionts and the microbial and host factors that regulate this process. ABSTRACT Increased colonization of typically oral microorganisms is frequently observed in the gut mucosa or lumen of individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, including patients ...

Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanistic interplay between periodontitis and IBD, with a particular emphasis on the microbial and immunological crosstalk linking the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract.

Naturally Occurring CodY Variants Alter Ligand Binding, DNA Target Affinity, and Virulence in Clostridioides difficile

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Single amino acid substitutions in the global regulator CodY can alter nutrient sensing and virulence regulation in Clostridioides difficile. We show that the CodY(Y146N) and CodY(V58A) variants display altered ligand binding and reduced promoter binding, leading to derepression of toxin regulatory pathways and increased virulence in vivo.
