The Encapsulation Strategies for Targeted Delivery of Probiotics in Preventing and Treating Colorectal Cancer: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work summarizes the efficacy and mechanisms of probiotics in CRC treatment, providing a comprehensive overview of various encapsulation methods such as microcapsules, hydrogels, single‐cell nanocoatings, and nanofibers for targeted probiotic delivery to inflammatory sites, with particular emphasis on the potential advantages of emerging single ...

Branched‐chain α‐keto acids and glutamate/glutamine: Biomarkers of insulin resistance in childhood obesity

open access: yesEndocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Insulin resistance (IR) in adolescents with obesity is associated with a sex‐dependent metabolic “signature” comprising the branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs), glutamate/glutamine, C3/C5 acylcarnitines, and uric acid. Here, we compared the levels of branched‐chain α‐keto acids (BCKAs) and glutamate/glutamine, which are byproducts of BCAA catabolism, as

Randomized Open-Label Pilot Study of the Influence of Probiotics and the Gut Microbiome on Toxic Metal Levels in Tanzanian Pregnant Women and School Children

open access: yesmBio, 2014
Exposure to environmental toxins is a 21st century global health problem that is often the result of dietary intake. Although efforts are made to reduce dietary toxin levels, they are often unsuccessful, warranting research into novel methods to reduce ...

Hydrogel‐Transformable Probiotic Powder for Targeted Eradication of Helicobacter pylori with Enhanced Gastric Mucosal Repair and Microbiota Preservation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional, edible, and hydrogel‐transformable probiotic powder is developed based on the “bacteria‐mediated bacterial eradication” strategy. By leveraging the targeted binding capability of L. reuteri to H. pylori, this approach achieves an integrated therapeutic effect, including bactericidality, anti‐inflammation, gastric mucosal repair, and ...

Randomised clinical trial: effect of low-FODMAP rye bread versus regular rye bread on the intestinal microbiota of irritable bowel syndrome patients: association with individual symptom variation

open access: yesBMC Nutrition, 2019
Background A low intake of Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides and Polyols (FODMAPs) is effective in the symptom control of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients but may exert negative effects on the intestinal microbiota.

Conditional regression based on a multivariate zero-inflated logistic normal model for microbiome relative abundance data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
The human microbiome plays critical roles in human health and has been linked to many diseases. While advanced sequencing technologies can characterize the composition of the microbiome in unprecedented detail, it remains challenging to disentangle the complex interplay between human microbiome and disease risk factors due to the complicated nature of ...

Enhancing Plastic Decomposition in Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor): The Role of Nutritional Amino Acids and Water

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
The decomposition of single‐use plastics by selected insects is often sustained or enhanced through the addition of natural supplements or feeds. Herein, the rationale behind these choices is demonstrated by examining the effects of selected amino acids and water as enhancers in the biodegradation of polystyrene by mealworms.

Latent Variable Modeling for the Microbiome [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
The human microbiome is a complex ecological system, and describing its structure and function under different environmental conditions is important from both basic scientific and medical perspectives. Viewed through a biostatistical lens, many microbiome analysis goals can be formulated as latent variable modeling problems.

An argument for using anaerobes as microbial cell factories to advance synthetic biology and biomanufacturing

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Anaerobes thrive in the absence of oxygen and are an untapped reservoir of biotechnological potential. Therefore, bioprospecting efforts focused on anaerobic microbial diversity could rapidly uncover new enzymes, pathways, and chassis organisms to drive biotechnology innovation.
