The impact of aging on intestinal mucosal immune function and clinical applications
Immune cells and immune molecules in the intestinal mucosa participate in innate and adaptive immunity to maintain local and systematic homeostasis. With aging, intestinal mucosal immune dysfunction will promote the emergence of age-associated diseases ...

Compositional and functional differences of the mucosal microbiota along the intestine of healthy individuals [PDF]
Abstract Gut mucosal microbes evolved closest to the host, developing specialized local communities. There is, however, insufficient knowledge of these communities as most studies have employed sequencing technologies to investigate faecal microbiota only. This work used shotgun metagenomics of mucosal biopsies to

Research progress on the relationship between intestinal microecology and intestinal bowel disease
Intestinal microecology is the main component of human microecology. Intestinal microecology consists of intestinal microbiota, intestinal epithelial cells, and intestinal mucosal immune system. These components are interdependent and establish a complex

Targeted restoration of the intestinal microbiota with a simple, defined bacteriotherapy resolves relapsing Clostridium difficile disease in mice. [PDF]
Relapsing C. difficile disease in humans is linked to a pathological imbalance within the intestinal microbiota, termed dysbiosis, which remains poorly understood. We show that mice infected with epidemic C.

The Research Progress on Intestinal Stem Cells and Its Relationship with Intestinal Microbiota
The intestine is home to trillions of microorganisms, and the vast diversity within this gut microbiota exists in a balanced state to protect the intestinal mucosal barrier.

Through ageing, and beyond: gut microbiota and inflammatory status in seniors and centenarians [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Age-related physiological changes in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as modifications in lifestyle, nutritional behaviour, and functionality of the host immune system, inevitably affect the gut microbiota, resulting in a greater ...

Characteristics and early development of intestinal microbiota in piglets
There are dense, dynamic and highly complex microbial communities in pig intestine. Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in promoting intestinal maturation, regulating the immune system, enhancing the health and growth performance of host ...

Maintenance of intestinal homeostasis by mucosal barriers
Background The intestine is inhabited by a tremendous number of microorganisms, which provide many benefits to nutrition, metabolism and immunity. Mucosal barriers by intestinal epithelial cells make it possible to maintain the symbiotic relationship ...

Alternations of Gastric Microbiota with Mucosal Atrophy and Intestinal Metaplasia [PDF]
Atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) are regarded as precancerous lesions of gastric cancer. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a major cause of AG and IM. Although stomach is a hostile environment for most bacteria, increased microbial diversity with the predominance of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria is frequently ...
