Prebiotics have been defined recently more as a concept then a functional ingredient group: ‘The selective stimulation of growth and/or activity(ies) of one or a limited number of microbial genus(era)/species in the gut microbiota that confer(s) health benefits to the host’.

We present a universal way to wrap liposomes around coacervate droplets. Membrane‐enclosed coacervates form when heat‐destabilized liposomes are mixed with coacervates. Membranized coacervates (MCs) can survive pH and ionic strength fluctuations, osmotic stress, and low temperatures.

(a) Mannosyl compounds obtained from microbial fermentation exhibited immunomodulatory activities in the innate and adaptive immune systems. (b) The immunomodulatory activity of mannosyl compounds on RAW 264.7 cells mainly functioned through mitogen‐activated protein kinases and MyD88‐dependent signaling pathways.

Environmental History is Transferred via Minerals Altering Formose Reaction Pathways
We study the influence of minerals on the formose reaction. We found that different minerals have distinct impact on the network outcome effects, that change over sequential batch reactions, demonstrating a history effect. Finally, we show that when minerals are first incubated with the aqueous catalysts, they subsequently allow for formation of ...

This work proposes a novel strategy targeting gut microbiota for managing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Inulin, a gut microbiota modulator, notably boosts the growth of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs)‐producers, represented by Bifidobacterium, thereby improving glucolipid metabolism and ovarian function of PCOS through suppressing the inflammatory ...

Synbiotics, probiotics or prebiotics in infant formula for full term infants: a systematic review
Background Synbiotics, probiotics or prebiotics are being added to infant formula to promote growth and development in infants. Previous reviews (2007 to 2011) on term infants given probiotics or prebiotics focused on prevention of allergic disease and ...

Plant Prebiotics and Their Role in the Amelioration of Diseases
Prebiotics are either natural or synthetic non-digestible (non-)carbohydrate substances that boost the proliferation of gut microbes. Undigested fructooligosaccharides in the large intestine are utilised by the beneficial microorganisms for the synthesis

This study indicates that perinatal antibiotic exposure elevates susceptibility to high‐fat‐diet‐induced hepatic lipid accumulation via disrupting early‐life gut microbiota colonization. The decreased Lactobacillus colonization inhibits primary‐to‐secondary bile acid conversion, lowering secondary bile acids, enhancing adulthood intestinal lipid ...

Atmospheric Constraints on the Surface UV Environment of Mars at 3.9 Ga Relevant to Prebiotic Chemistry [PDF]
Recent findings suggest Mars may have been a clement environment for the emergence of life, and may even have compared favorably to Earth in this regard. These findings have revived interest in the hypothesis that prebiotically important molecules or even nascent life may have formed on Mars and been transferred to Earth.

The role of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics in animal nutrition
Along with the intensive development of methods of livestock breeding, breeders’ expectations are growing concerning feed additives that would guarantee such results as accelerating growth rate, protection of health from pathogenic infections and ...
