Most COVID-19 patients recovered with low mortality; however, some patients experienced
long-term symptoms described as “long-COVID” or “Post-COVID syndrome”(PCS). Patients …

A growing body of research suggests that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), metabolites
produced by intestinal symbiotic bacteria that ferment dietary fibers (DFs), play a crucial role …

The microbiome modulates host immunity and aids the maintenance of tolerance in the gut,
where microbial and food-derived antigens are abundant. Yet modern dietary factors and …

Gut bacterial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have important effects on
immune cells and the gut. SCFAs derive from the fermentation of dietary fiber by gut …

The microbiome plays a fundamental role in how the immune system develops and how
inflammatory responses are shaped and regulated. The “gut-lung axis” is a relatively new …

Epidemiological studies have shown a dramatic increase in the incidence and the
prevalence of allergic diseases over the last several decades. Environmental triggers …

Microbial metabolism of specific dietary components, such as fiber, contributes to the
sophisticated inter‐kingdom dialogue in the gut that maintains a stable environment with …

Asthma is a complex and heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disease of the airways.
Alongside environmental factors, asthma susceptibility is strongly influenced by genetics …

Microbial metabolites produced by the gut microbiome, eg short-chain fatty acids (SCFA),
have been found to influence lung physiology and injury responses. However, how lung …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are metabolites of gut microbes that can modulate the host
inflammatory response, and contribute to health and homeostasis. Since the introduction of …
