Modulating the Gut–Ovarian Axis: Mechanistic Rationale and the Limits of Current Evidence for Probiotics in Female Reproductive Aging

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Selected orally administered probiotics and functional‐food interventions may alter gut microbial ecology and intestinal barrier function. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, microbial components, and endocrine signals—including short‐chain fatty acids, bile acids, tryptophan metabolites, and lipopolysaccharide—may influence systemic immune, metabolic, and

Beyond omics: From descriptive profiling to causal and scalable design of fermentation microbiomes

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
Fermentation microbiomes play essential roles in food production, feed preservation, waste valorization, and diverse sustainable industrial processes. Although multi‐omics and systems biology have substantially advanced our understanding of their assembly, interactions, and functional dynamics, industrial translation remains constrained by fragmented ...

Study on the in Vivo Cholesterol‐Lowering Effect of Galacto‐Oligosaccharides Synergized with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BF_15 via Modulation of Gut Microbiota

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
The synbiotic consisting of galacto oligosaccharides (GOS) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BF_15 mitigates hypercholesterolemia in high cholesterol diet fed mice. This synbiotic lowers serum TC, TG, and LDL C levels and ameliorates hepatic steatosis. It enriches gut microbes with bile salt hydrolase activity (e.g., Bifidobacterium) and SCFA producing
