The Interaction of Large Bowel Microflora with the Colonic Mucus Barrier [PDF]
The colonic mucus barrier is the first line of defence that the underlying mucosa has against the wide range of potentially damaging agents of microbial, endogenous, and dietary origin that occur within the colonic lumen.

The disturbance of oxidant-antioxidant balance in rat colonic mucosa after antibiotic therapy
Antibiotic treatment increases susceptibility to development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) both in children and adults. Oxidative stress plays a prominent role in IBD pathogenesis.

Human gut microbiota-reactive DP8α regulatory T cells, signature and related emerging functions
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.

Clinical Parasitology and Parasitome Maps as Old and New Tools to Improve Clinical Microbiomics
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.

The Proinflammatory Role of Guanylate-Binding Protein 5 in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
NLRP3 inflammasome is implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Since guanylate-binding protein 5 (GBP5) induces the NLRP3 inflammasome activity, we aim to investigate the potential role of GBP5 in IBD pathogenesis.
