Axial Connectivity of the Lung Microbiome: A Review of Interorgan Crosstalk

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2026.
The human microbiome mediates immune homeostasis and metabolic signaling across organs. Beyond the gut‐lung axis, crosstalk between the lung and other organ systems is less recognized. This review assesses the axial connectivity of the lung microbiome across the gut, brain, skin, heart, kidney, and liver.

Gastrointestinal Microbiome Dysbiosis in Cancer Development: Mechanisms and Biomarker Potential

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal microbiome plays a role in carcinogenesis by inducing chronic inflammation, DNA damage, and activation of signaling pathways such as NF‐κB, STAT3, and Wnt/β‐catenin. Microorganisms such as Helicobacter pylori, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Bacteroides fragilis promote the development of gastrointestinal tumors through ...

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...
