Medicago Sativa L. Saponin‐Driven Lactobacillus Intestinalis Restores Intestinal Stemness in Naturally Aged Mice via the Bile Acid‐FXR‐Wnt Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study examines the mechanism by which alfalfa saponin (AS) regulates intestinal stemness via modulation of the gut microbiota. The results indicate that AS significantly increases the abundance of Lactobacillus intestinalis, which subsequently activates Wnt signaling via bile acid metabolism and enhances intestinal stemness. These findings provide
