Background The human gut hosts complex microbial communities, which are linked to
health and disease. The gut microbiota is continuously reshaped by multiple environmental …

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 …

Background Coffee can regulate glucose homeostasis but the underlying mechanism is
unclear. This study investigated the preventive and therapeutic effects of chlorogenic acid …

The gut microbial ecosystem, which is a collection of the host-microbiota interactions and the
inter-species interplay among bacteria-dominated microbiota, has become a research …

Scope: The proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are the basis of
intestinal renewal and regeneration, and gut microbiota plays an important role in it. Dietary …

Environmental factors that enhance regeneration are largely unknown. The immune system
and microbiome are attributed roles in repairing and regenerating structure but their precise …

Objective Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to
investigate whether cigarette smoke promotes CRC by altering the gut microbiota and …

In nature, cells reside in tissues subject to complex cell–cell interactions, signals from
extracellular molecules and niche soluble and mechanical signaling. These …

The neonatal intestinal tract is immature and can be easily infected by pathogens causing
inflammation. Maternal diet manipulation is a promising nutritional strategy to enhance the …

Regeneration of epithelia is crucial for maintaining the intestinal barrier and homeostasis.
Our previous work showed that exopolysaccharides from Lactobacillus plantarum NCU116 …
