Modulatory Effects of Bifidobacterium longum Subsp. Longum BL21 on Intestinal Barrier Impairment and Metabolic Dysregulation in a Low‐Dose Dextran Sulfate Sodium‐Induced Chronic Inflammation Model

Food Bioengineering
Chronic low‐grade intestinal inflammation is closely linked to gut barrier dysfunction and metabolic disturbance. This study established a low‐dose dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)‐induced chronic inflammation model and evaluated the protective effects of ...

Effect of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Langg JZ-08 on lipid metabolism in individuals with obesity and dyslipidemia: A randomised, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial

Human Nutrition & Metabolism
Dyslipidemia is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, especially for individuals with obesity. Probiotics have been studied for their potential lipid-lowering properties, but the evidence in individuals with obesity and dyslipidemia is ...

Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

The Safety of Probiotics [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2008
Probiotics are generally defined as microorganisms that, when consumed, generally confer a health benefit on humans. There is considerable interest in probiotics for a variety of medical conditions, and millions of people around the world consume probiotics daily for perceived health benefits. Lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and lactococci have generally

Diversity of Pharmaceuticals Enhances Antibiotic Resistance in the Invertebrate Gut via Biofilm‐Mediated Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pharmaceutical diversity acts as an independent driver of antibiotic resistance in soil invertebrates. While bulk soil remains unaffected, the collembolan gut microbiome exhibits significant resistance gene enrichment under complex chemical exposure and diurnal warming.

Oral Bioinspired Peroxisome‐Engineered Probiotics for Modulating Gut Microbiota Homeostasis and Alleviating Cardiac Chemotherapy Toxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed an oral bioinspired peroxisome‐engineered probiotic (BPEP) by anchoring lipid‐encapsulated ruthenium nanozymes onto Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, utilizing probiotics to deliver nanozymes to the intestinal barrier for reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species elimination, tight junction restoration, and gut microbiota ...

In vitro gastrointestinal digestion of Lentinus squarrosulus powder and impact on human fecal microbiota

Scientific Reports, 2022
Humans have long-used mushrooms as food and medicine, but digestion and colonic fermentation of most mushrooms, including Lentinus squarrosulus is markedly unknown. Here, nutritional profile, digestion and colonic fermentation of L.

Icariin Enhances the Enzymatic Activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase to Augment Akkermansia Abundance in Gut Microbiota for Improved PD‐1 Blockade Efficacy in Tumor Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Icariin promoted the growth of Akk by enhancing the activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase (Amuc_0920), which enhanced mucin utilization and provided a favorable nutrient environment for bacterial growth. This icariin‐mediated enrichment of Akk further reshaped the tumor microenvironment and promoted CD8+ T cell infiltration, ultimately synergizing with
