NLRP6 Protects Il10−/− Mice from Colitis by Limiting Colonization of Akkermansia muciniphila
Dysfunction in host immune responses and pathologic alterations in the gut microbiota, referred to as dysbiosis, can both contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, it remains unclear how specific changes in host immunity

The Role of Butyrate in Attenuating Pathobiont-Induced Hyperinflammation
An excessive hyperinflammatory response-caused septic shock is a major medical problem that is associated with pathogenic bacterial infections leading to high mortality rates. The intestinal microbiota and the associated elaborated metabolites such as short chain fatty acid butyrate have been shown to relieve pathogenic bacterial-caused acute ...

Hepatic Branch Vagotomy Modulates the Gut-Liver-Brain Axis in Murine Cirrhosis
BackgroundCirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are linked with an altered gut-liver-brain axis, however, the relative contribution of hepatic vagal innervation is unclear.

Gut microbiota and pathobiont exposure influences disease incidence in non-obese diabetic mice. [PDF]
While the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is the most widely used animal model of type 1 diabetes (T1D), it suffers from poor reproducibility in disease incidence often attributed to variables in the environment, including the gut ...

A Pathobiont of the Microbiota Balances Host Colonization and Intestinal Inflammation [PDF]
The gastrointestinal tract harbors a diverse microbiota that has coevolved with mammalian hosts. Though most associations are symbiotic or commensal, some resident bacteria (termed pathobionts) have the potential to cause disease. Bacterial type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are one mechanism for forging host-microbial interactions.

Galleria mellonella: A Novel Invertebrate Model to Distinguish Intestinal Symbionts From Pathobionts
Insects and mammals share evolutionary conserved innate immune responses to maintain intestinal homeostasis. We investigated whether the larvae of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella may be used as an experimental organism to distinguish between ...
