Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Weed Seed Decay in No-Till Field and Planted Riparian Buffer Zone

Plants, 2020
Field management practices can alter the physical and chemical properties of the soil, also causing changes to the seed bank. Alterations can also occur to the soil microbial community, which in turn can increase or diminish the process of weed seed ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Presence of pathogen DNA in milk harvested from quarters is associated to changes in cows’ milk yield and composition

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Intramammary infection is the result of invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in the mammary gland and commonly leads to mastitis in dairy animals.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

A pioneering genotypic and phylogenetic characterisation of Cichorium crops through a genome-scale sequencing for future breeding innovations

BMC Plant Biology
The genus Cichorium, which comprises economically important crops such as chicory and endive, exhibits significant genetic and phenotypic diversity. This study used genome-scale sequencing based on ddRAD technology to explore the genetic diversity and ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Effect of dietary supplementation with purified wood lignocellulose on performances, caecal fermentation and gut microbiota of growing rabbits

Italian Journal of Animal Science
A total of 576 rabbits were housed in 18 open-top elevated pens (32 rabbits per pen) during the fattening period (54–71 d of age) and fed a standard diet or a diet enriched in purified wood lignocellulose and fat formulated to guarantee rabbit optimal ...

How animal milk and plant-based alternatives diverge in terms of fatty acid, amino acid, and mineral composition

npj Science of Food, 2023
The decline in fresh milk in the Western world has in part been substituted by an increased consumption of plant-based beverages (PBB). These are often marketed as healthy and sustainable alternatives to milk and dairy foodstuff, although studies have ...
