The intestine is fundamental in controlling human health. Intestinal epithelial and immune
cells are continuously exposed to millions of microbes that greatly impact on intestinal …

Intestinal microenvironment dysbiosis is one of the major causes of diseases, such as
obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and colon cancer. Microbiota-based …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) play vital roles in bacterial communication both
intraspecifically and interspecifically. However, extracellular mechanisms of gut microbiota …

Communication between cells is crucial to preserve body homeostasis and health. Tightly
controlled intercellular dialog is particularly relevant in the gut, where cells of the intestinal …

The gut microbiota and their products play a critical role in metabolism, neurologic status,
endocrine and immune system. There are pieces of evidence that dysbiosis in the gut is a …

Obesity and diabetes incidence rates are increasing dramatically, reaching pandemic
proportions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to unravel the mechanisms underlying their …

Abstract Background The extracellular vesicles (EVs) traffic constitutes an essential pathway
of cellular communication. And the molecules in EVs produced by procaryotes help in …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract harbours a complex microbial community, which contributes to
its homeostasis. A disrupted microbiome can cause GI‐related diseases, including …

Interactions between intestinal microbiota and the human host are complex. The gut
mucosal surface is covered by a mucin layer that prevents bacteria from accessing the …

Both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that
contain components from their mother cells. Bacterial EVs are similar in size to mammalian …
