SUMMARY A balanced gut microbiota contributes to health, but the mechanisms
maintaining homeostasis remain elusive. Microbiota assembly during infancy is governed by …

Given the key role of butyrate for host health, understanding the ecology of intestinal
butyrate-producing communities is a top priority for gut microbiota research. To this end, we …

Recent evidence indicates a link between gut pathology and microbiome with hypertension
(HTN) in animal models. However, whether this association exists in humans is unknown …

Background Currently, over half of breast cancer cases are unrelated to known risk factors,
highlighting the importance of discovering other cancer-promoting factors. Since crosstalk …

The microbiota-gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication system that is poorly
understood. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, has long been …

Due to the spread of resistance, antibiotic exposure receives increasing attention. Ecological
consequences for the different niches of individual microbiomes are, however, largely …

The swine gut microbiota encompasses a large and diverse population of bacteria that play
a significant role in pig health. As such, a number of recent studies have utilized high …

Arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (AXOS) are a promising class of prebiotics that have the
potential to stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria and the production of butyrate in the …

Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the human gut microbiota's effects on
health and disease has been complicated by difficulties in linking metabolic functions …

Several studies monitoring alterations in the community structure upon resistant starch (RS)
interventions are available, although comprehensive function-based analyses are lacking …
