Dysbiosis of Gut Microbiota Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Regulating the Immune Response

Journal of Immunology Research, 2021
Background and Aim. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota is important in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, little is known about whether and how dysbiosis impacts HCC progression.

Positive biofilms to control surface-associated microbial communities in a broiler chicken production system - a field study

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
In the One Health concept, the use of beneficial bacteria to form positive biofilms that prevent the settlement of undesirable bacteria is a promising solution to limit the use of antimicrobials on farms.

Transplantation of fecal microbiota from patients with inflammatory bowel disease and depression alters immune response and behavior in recipient mice

Scientific Reports, 2021
Gut dysbiosis is closely associated with the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and psychiatric disorder. Here, to understand the difference of gut microbiota composition and physiological effect between IBD patients with (IBD/D+) or without ...

Fatty acid composition and phospholipid types used in infant formulas modifies the establishment of human gut bacteria in germ-free mice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Human milk fat contains high concentrations of medium-chained fatty acids (MCFA) and triacylglycerols emulsified by a sphingomyelin-rich phospholipid membrane (milk phospholipids, MPL).

An Indigenous Gut Bacterium,Enterococcus faecalis(Lactobacillales: Enterococcaceae), Increases Seed Consumption ByHarpalus pensylvanicus(Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Florida Entomologist, 2014
Abstract Microbial symbioses likely drive the evolution of diet within animals, yet these symbiotic relationships remain poorly understood for many organisms. The bacterial endosymbiont Enterococcus faecalis is found in the intestinal tract of the beetle Harpalus pensylvanicus (DeGeer) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and is thought to contribute to the ...

Host’s genetic background determines the outcome of reciprocal faecal transplantation on life-history traits and microbiome composition

Animal Microbiome, 2022
Background Microbes play a role in their host's fundamental ecological, chemical, and physiological processes. Host life-history traits from defence to growth are therefore determined not only by the abiotic environment and genotype but also by ...

Effects of Dietary Mannan Oligosaccharides on Growth, Disease Resistance, and Gut Microbiota in Zebrafish

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Supplementation with mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) enhances growth, disease resistance, antioxidant capacity, and gut microbiota diversity while suppressing inflammation, apoptosis, and strengthening intestinal barrier integrity in zebrafish challenged with LPS or DSS.
