Colonic drug delivery can facilitate access to unique therapeutic targets and has the
potential to enhance drug bioavailability whilst reducing off-target effects. Delivering drugs to …

Fungal communities (the mycobiota) are an integral part of the gut microbiota, and the
disruption of their integrity contributes to local and gut-distal pathologies. Yet, the …

Background Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiomes in ruminants play major roles in host
health and thus animal production. However, we lack an integrated understanding of …

A mechanistic understanding of how microbial proteins affect the host could yield deeper
insights into gut microbiota–host cross-talk. We developed an enzyme activity–screening …

In the past period, due to the rapid development of next-generation sequencing technology,
accumulating evidence has clarified the complex role of the human microbiota in the …

The interactions between mycotoxins and gut microbiota were discovered early in animals
and explained part of the differences in susceptibility to mycotoxins among species. Isolation …

The gastrointestinal tract has the important task of absorbing nutrients, a complex process
that requires an intact barrier allowing the passage of nutrients but that simultaneously …

Despite milestones in preventive measures and treatment, cardiovascular disease (CVD)
remains associated with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. The protracted nature of …

Compositional oscillations of the gut microbiome are essential for normal peripheral
circadian rhythms, both of which are disrupted in diet-induced obesity (DIO). Although time …
