The intestinal tract faces numerous challenges that require several layers of defence. The
tight epithelium forms a physical barrier that is further protected by a mucus layer, which …

The development of next-generation sequencing technology has enabled researchers to
explore and understand the gut microbiome from a broader and deeper perspective …

The incidence of sporadic young-onset colorectal cancer (yCRC) is increasing. A significant
knowledge gap exists in the gut microbiota and its diagnostic value for yCRC patients …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a polysaccharide from Scutellaria
baicalensis Georgi on UC. Gut microbiota dysbiosis is a worldwide problem associating with …

Background & Aims Altering the intestinal microbiota has been proposed as a treatment for
inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), but there are no established associations between …

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are a group of chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory
diseases with unknown etiology. There is a combination of well documented factors in their …

The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract harbours a complex and dynamic population of
microorganisms, the gut microbiota, which exert a marked influence on the host during …

While gut microbiome and host gene regulation independently contribute to gastrointestinal
disorders, it is unclear how the two may interact to influence host pathophysiology. Here we …

Despite major strides in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden with modification of
classic CVD risk factors, significant residual risks remain. Recent discoveries that linked …

Recent advances in sequencing techniques, applied to the study of microbial communities,
have provided compelling evidence that the mammalian intestinal tract harbors a complex …
