Reusing Waste Coffee Grounds as Electrode Materials: Recent Advances and Future Opportunities

Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Coffee industry produces more than 8 million tons of waste coffee grounds (WCG) annually. In recent decades, upcycling of WCG‐derived carbon into value‐added electrode materials has attracted growing interests owing to their low cost and high electrochemical properties.

Fiber and Prebiotics: Mechanisms and Health Benefits

Nutrients, 2013
The health benefits of dietary fiber have long been appreciated. Higher intakes of dietary fiber are linked to less cardiovascular disease and fiber plays a role in gut health, with many effective laxatives actually isolated fiber sources. Higher intakes

Charting the landscape of the environmental exposome

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
We describe the biological and chemical components of the environmental exposomes in three major environmental matrices that are highly relevant to human and social‐economical health—air, soil, and water. We discuss how different exposome components can interact with each other. Finally, we propose a list of outstanding challenges to be tackled to push

The Gut Microbiota of Laying Hens and Its Manipulation with Prebiotics and Probiotics To Enhance Gut Health and Food Safety

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020
The microbiota plays a vital role in maintaining gut health and influences the overall performance of chickens. Most gut microbiota-related studies have been performed in broilers, which have different microbial communities compared to those of layers ...

Targeting keystone species helps restore the dysbiosis of butyrate‐producing bacteria in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
In this study, we applied an algorithm to the keystone species identification in the gut microbiome, based on current causal inference theories and the dynamic intervention simulation. We identified the nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) keystone species combination, represented by Porphyromonas loveana, Alistipes indistinctus, and Dialister ...

Probiotics, prebiotics and amelioration of diseases

Journal of Biomedical Sciences, 2019
Dysbiosis of gut microbiota is closely related to occurrence of many important chronic inflammations-related diseases. So far the traditionally prescribed prebiotics and probiotics do not show significant impact on amelioration of these diseases in ...

Functional Ambidexterity of an Ancient Nucleic Acid‐Binding Domain

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
The helix‐hairpin‐helix (HhH) motif is an ancient and ubiquitous nucleic acid‐binding element that has emerged as a model system for studying the evolution of dsDNA‐binding domains from simple peptides that phase separate with RNA. We analyzed the entire putative evolutionary trajectory of the HhH motif – from a flexible peptide to a folded domain ...

Prebiotics as functional foods: A review

Journal of Functional Foods, 2013
Prebiotics are short chain carbohydrates that are non-digestible by digestive enzymes in humans and selectively enhance the activity of some groups of beneficial bacteria. In the intestine, prebiotics are fermented by beneficial bacteria to produce short
