Gut Dysbiosis and Neurobehavioral Alterations in Rats Exposed to Silver Nanoparticles [PDF]
Due to their antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are being used in non-edible and edible consumer products. It is not clear though if exposure to these chemicals can exert toxic effects on the host and gut microbiome. Conflicting studies have been reported on whether AgNPs result in gut dysbiosis and other changes within the host. We

Engineered Tissue Models to Decode Host–Microbiota Interactions
Host–Microbiota interactions in the human body. Created in BioRender. Ghezzi, C. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ihivskg. Abstract A mutualistic co‐evolution exists between the host and its associated microbiota in the human body. Bacteria establish ecological niches in various tissues of the body, locally influencing their physiology and functions, but ...

Process intensification strategies for enhanced holocellulose solubilization: Beneficiation of pineapple peel waste for cleaner butanol production [PDF]
Biorefinery sector has become a serious dispute for cleaner and sustainable development in recent years. In the present study, pretreatment of pineapple peel waste was carried out in high pressure reactor using various pretreatment-enhancers. The type and concentration effect of each enhancer on hemicellulose solubilization was systematically ...

Gut Microbiome Pilot Study of Patients With CHARGE Syndrome and Sibling Controls
ABSTRACT Difficulties with feeding and digestion are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome. Animal models with CHD7 gene variants demonstrate abnormal gut innovation and dysmotility. Our pilot study evaluated whether individuals with CHARGE syndrome have differences in their gut microbiome compared to unaffected siblings.

Sugar‐sensing swodkoreceptors and swodkocrine signaling
Sugar‐sensing swodkoreceptors that trigger swodkocrine signaling. Abstract Sugars are one of the major metabolites and are essential for nucleic acid synthesis and energy production. In addition, sugars can act as signaling molecules. To study sugar signaling at the systemic level, there is an urgent need to systematically identify sugar‐sensing ...
