Protein Energy Malnutrition: Opportunities for Cold Plasma Technologies

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major global health concern driven by biological, environmental, and nutritional factors, including gut microbiota imbalance and low protein intake. Cold atmospheric plasma technologies offer promising, sustainable solutions by improving food security, enhancing protein quality and absorption, and modulating gut ...

Sex-specific effects of microbiome perturbations on cerebral Aβ amyloidosis and microglia phenotypes. [PDF]

, 2019
We demonstrated that an antibiotic cocktail (ABX)-perturbed gut microbiome is associated with reduced amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque pathology and astrogliosis in the male amyloid precursor protein (APP)SWE /presenilin 1 (PS1)ΔE9 transgenic model of Aβ ...

An expanded database and analytical toolkit for identifying bacterial virulence factors and their associations with chronic diseases

Nature Communications
Virulence factor genes (VFGs) play pivotal roles in bacterial infections and have been identified within the human gut microbiota. However, their involvement in chronic diseases remains poorly understood. Here, we establish an expanded VFG database (VFDB

Non‐Starch Purple Sweet Potato Polysaccharide Ameliorates Lipopolysaccharides‐Induced Acute Colitis by Regulating Gut Function and Inactivating the NOD‐Like Receptor Protein 3 Signaling Pathway

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Purple sweet potato polysaccharide (PSP) ameliorates lipopolysaccharide‐induced ulcerative colitis in mice through multiple coordinated mechanisms. Oral PSP administration dose‐dependently: (1) Modulates gut microbiota composition and increases short‐chain fatty acid levels; (2) strengthens intestinal barrier function; (3) attenuates systemic ...

Aging: a possible road toward gut microbiota pathoadaptation

Gut Microbes
Laboratory-raised mice live approximately seven times longer and healthier lives compared to their wild counterparts, due to a standardized healthy diet and limited exposure to environmental stressors.

The Anti‐Constipation Effect of Garlic Polysaccharides: Roles of Gut Barrier Integrity, VIP Pathway, and the Microbiota‐SCFAs Axis

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Garlic polysaccharides (GP) demonstrated potential against functional constipation. In vitro, GP exhibited digestive resistance properties and boosted beneficial Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. In constipated mice, GP alleviated constipation by reducing oxidative stress and repairing the mechanical, chemical, and immune barriers.

Microbial influences on immune modulation and colorectal cancer progression through combined transcriptomic and microbiomic analysis

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
Schematic representation of the distinct tumor microenvironment characteristics in CA1 and CA2 subtypes. CA1 illustrates an immune‐active tumor microenvironment characterized by elevated infiltration of immune cells, particularly CD8 + T cells and macrophages, and enhanced IFN‐γ signaling.

An inflammatory paradox: strategies inflammophilic oral pathobionts employ to exploit innate immunity via neutrophil manipulation

Frontiers in Oral Health
Inflammatory dysbiotic diseases present an intriguing biological paradox. Like most other infectious disease processes, the alarm bells of the host are potently activated by tissue-destructive pathobionts, triggering a cascade of physiological responses ...

Bacterial Culture‐Based Analysis of the Tuatara Gut Reveals Functional Roles of the Core Genus Chryseobacterium

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
The microorganisms living in a host's gut are important for digestion and immune response and are an important facet to understanding host ecology. For tuatara, the gut microbiome presents an opportunity to examine bacteria associated with a long‐lived and evolutionarily distinct reptile and to understand how tuatara ecology is mediated or supported by

Responses of Root Microbiome and Metabolome Are Linked to Crop Disease Severity

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant microorganisms are an essential component of the host and perform critical functions in plant development and health. Emerging evidence shows that plants use their root exudates to recruit beneficial microbes that protect them against abiotic and biotic stresses, including diseases.
