Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 BackgroundThe intestinal tract serves as a critical regulator for nutrient absorption and overall health. However, its involvement in anti-parasitic infection and immunity has been largely neglected, especially when a parasite is not transmitted orally ...

Antepartum Antibiotic Treatment Increases Offspring Susceptibility to Experimental Colitis: A Role of the Gut Microbiota. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Postnatal maturation of the immune system is largely driven by exposure to microbes, and thus the nature of intestinal colonization may be associated with development of childhood diseases that may persist into adulthood.

Muc5ac Expression Protects the Colonic Barrier in Experimental Colitis
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, 2020 Recent studies highlight the importance of mucins, in particular Muc2, in intestinal homeostasis. Our functional study demonstrates that an alternative secreted mucin, MUC5AC/Muc5ac, is induced in colitis to protect the colonic barrier by limiting host ...

A Review of Colonoscopy in Intestinal Diseases
Diagnostics, 2023 Since the development of the fiberoptic colonoscope in the late 1960s, colonoscopy has been a useful tool to diagnose and treat various intestinal diseases.

Dentistry and Medical Research, 2023 Background: Indians do not fit the definition of slow transit constipation (STC) according to Western standards because of their quick gut transit. The colonic transit study (CTS) can discriminate between patients with severe specific motility problems ...

Human gut microbiota-reactive DP8α regulatory T cells, signature and related emerging functions
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 In mice, microbiota-induced Tregs both maintain intestinal homeostasis and provide resistance to immuno-pathologies in the adult. Identifying their human functional counterpart therefore represents an important goal.

Comparison of bran, ispaghula, and lactulose on colon function in diverticular disease. [PDF]
Gut, 1978 Bran, ispaghula (Fybogel), and lactulose were given to three groups of patients with diverticular disease for four weeks. Faecal weights, bile acids, fat and electrolytes, transit time, and colonic motility were estimated before and after treatment. Stool weight increased, notably with Fybogel.

Colonic Butyrate-Producing Communities in Humans: an Overview Using Omics Data
mSystems, 2017 Studies focusing on taxonomic compositions of the gut microbiota are plentiful, whereas its functional capabilities are still poorly understood. Specific key functions deserve detailed investigations, as they regulate microbiota-host interactions and ...

Clinical Parasitology and Parasitome Maps as Old and New Tools to Improve Clinical Microbiomics
Pathogens, 2021 A growing body of evidence shows that dysbiotic gut microbiota may correlate with a wide range of disorders; hence, the clinical use of microbiota maps and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can be exploited in the clinic of some infectious diseases.
