[Intestinal microbiota].

Bulletin de l'Academie nationale de medecine, 2016
The human body normally lives in symbiosis with a considerable microscopic environment present on all interfaces with the external environment; it hosts ten times more microbes (microbiota) that it has somatic or germ cells, representing a gene diversity (microbiome) 100-150 times higher than the human genome. These germs are located mainly in the gut,

Ammonia exposure induced intestinal inflammation injury mediated by intestinal microbiota in broiler chickens via TLR4/TNF-α signaling pathway

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Ammonia is a known environmental pollutant that causes injury to the intestine. Growing evidence suggests that intestinal microbiota dysbiosis involves in the development of intestinal injury under environmental pollution. However, the specific mechanism

The globalization of intestinal microbiota [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2010
Many microorganisms reside in human mucosa, specifically in the gut. There are many sources of the microorganisms that colonize our gut, and these sources are mainly environmental. Indeed, food is a major source of bacteria and viruses. Food also modifies the equilibrium of microorganisms in our gut, with vegetables favoring a wider diversity.

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

The SERPINB4 gene mutation identified in twin patients with Crohn’s disease impaires the intestinal epithelial cell functions

Scientific Reports
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. To identify new targets related to the initiation of CD, we screened a pair of twins with CD, which is a rare phenomenon in the Chinese population, for genetic ...

Assessment of chemical methods in the extraction of spore surface layers in Clostridioides difficile spores

mSphere
Clostridioides difficile spores are essential for initiation, recurrence, and transmission of C. difficile infections (CDI). These outermost layers of the spore, the exosporium and spore coat, are responsible for initial interactions with the host and ...

Dual‐Layer Living Hydrogel Enables On‐Demand Delivery of Phages and Probiotics for Synergistic Wound Infection Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

Intestinal microbiota and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [PDF]

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2017
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver disease with high prevalence in western countries. Progression from NAFLD to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) occurs in 10-20%. NASH pathogenesis is multifactorial including genetic and environmental factors.

3D‐Printed Gastrointestinal Stents: In Vivo Evaluation in a Swine Small Bowel Perforation Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal fistulae and perforations can lead to severe complications including sepsis and patient death. In this work, the efficacy of 3D‐printed gastrointestinal stents composed of poly‐lactic‐acid (PLA) was evaluated in an in vivo swine model.

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.
