The human gastrointestinal tract is inhabited by the largest microbial community within the
human body consisting of trillions of microbes called gut microbiota. The normal flora is the …

Oncogenesis is associated with intestinal dysbiosis, and stool shotgun metagenomic
sequencing in individuals with this condition might constitute a non-invasive approach for …

Advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools have dramatically increased
the recovery rate of microbial genomes from metagenomic data. Assessing the quality of …

Accumulating evidence suggests that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with an
altered gut microbiome. Our understanding of the underlying mechanisms has been …

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 …

Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global disease characterised
by chronic obstruction of lung airflow interfering with normal breathing. Although the …

Communication between the gut and remote organs, such as the brain or the cardiovascular
system, has been well established and recent studies provide evidence for a potential …

The human gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem involved in the metabolism, immunity,
and health of the host. The microbiome plays a key role in the development of the host's …

Epidemiological studies indicate that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is
associated with the incidence of changes in intestinal health. Cigarette smoking, as one of …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the frequently fatal pathology of the
respiratory tract, accounts for half a billion cases globally. COPD manifests via chronic …
