Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has achieved satisfactory results in preventing the
recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection, but these positive outcomes have only been …

The gut and lungs are anatomically distinct, but potential anatomic communications and
complex pathways involving their respective microbiota have reinforced the existence of a …

The gut and the liver are characterized by mutual interactions between both organs, the
microbiome, diet and other environmental factors. The sum of these interactions is …

Humoral immune responses at mucosal surfaces have historically focused on IgA. Growing
evidence highlights the complexity of IgA-inducing pathways and the functional impact of IgA …

The innate immune system is the oldest protection strategy that is conserved across all
organisms. Although having an unspecific action, it is the first and fastest defense …

Microbial communities associated with animals exert powerful influences on host
physiology, regulating metabolism and immune function, as well as complex host behaviors …

The rate of caesarean section delivery (CSD) is increasing worldwide. It remains unclear
whether disruption of mother-to-neonate transmission of microbiota through CSD occurs and …

Mounting evidence suggests that gut microbiota can play an important role in
pathophysiology of depression, but its specific molecular mechanisms are still unclear. This …

The ontogeny and maturation of the immune system is modulated by the microbiota. During
