<h4>Background</h4>Intestinal microbial homeostasis and metabolic balance play a crucial role in maintaining normal physiological function in horses. Exogenous stress involving abrupt turns and jumps during show jumping significantly impacts intestinal microbial homeostasis and metabolic balance …
Read PDFFoodborne illnesses pose a significant global health threat, often caused by pathogens like <i>Escherichia coli</i>, <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>, and <i>Salmonella</i> spp. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains further exacerbates food safety challenges. This study combines shotgun metagenomics …
Read PDFMembrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been utilized for maricultural wastewater treatment, where high-salinity stress results in dramatic membrane fouling in the actual process. A microalgal-bacterial symbiotic system (MBSS) offers advantages for photosynthetic oxygen production, dynamically regulating …
Read PDFThe involvement of the intestinal microbiome in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC), is well-established. Bacteria interact with immune cells at sites of intestinal inflammation, but also in the CRC …
Read PDFGut microbiota dysbiosis and associated host immuno-metabolic disorders may play a role in knee synovitis. Herein, integrated multi-omics analyses of stool and blood samples from subjects from Pearl River Osteoarthritis Cohort (PROC, N = 207) …
Read PDFPancreatic cancer (PC) represents one of the most formidable challenges in oncology, characterized by its asymptomatic onset, delayed clinical detection, and dismal prognosis. Among pancreatic neoplasms, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) accounts for over 90% of …
Read PDFFermented foods (FFs) represent complex living ecosystems that deliver viable microbes and bioactive metabolites linked to human health benefits. However, many probiotic strains isolated from FFs fail to reproduce these effects <i>in vivo</i>, likely due …
Read PDFThe present study investigates the dual impact of microbial biofertilizers on the phenotypic performance and rhizosphere microbiome composition in an onion crop. A pot experiment was conducted with seven treatments of microbial inoculants, such as …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Grapevines are among the most economically important fruit crops, and the microbiome profoundly influences their health, yield, and quality. However, mechanistic insights into microbiome-orchestrated grapevine biology remain limited.<h4>Results</h4>Here, we conduct large-scale pan-metagenomic and pan-metatranscriptomic analyses …
Read PDFThe Karelian region, which spans the border between Finland and Russia, presents distinct environmental exposures and lifestyles on either side of the governmental border. In the more urbanized Finnish Karelia, allergic diseases are markedly more …
Read PDFOne Health is a concept and framework for addressing the interconnected nature of humans, animals and their environments to improve the health and wellbeing of all three, along with added social and financial benefits. On …
Read PDFAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, driven by the extensive use of antibiotics in both human medicine and livestock production. In the context of the One Health framework, this review investigates …
Read PDFThe leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) is a wild felid species that serves as a reservoir of zoonotic parasites. In this study, we investigated intestinal parasite taxa by reanalyzing previously published shotgun metagenomic sequencing data from …
Read PDFSingle-cell sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of cellular heterogeneity by providing a micro-level perspective in the past decade. While heterogeneity is fundamental to diverse biological communities, existing platforms are primarily designed for eukaryotic cells, leaving …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: The growing population and associated increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) have promoted the use of sustainable waste management strategies. Given its high organic content, MSW can be treated through anaerobic digestion (AD) and …
Read PDFPesticides are widely distributed in soils<sup>1-3</sup>, yet their effects on soil biodiversity remain poorly understood<sup>4-7</sup>. Here we examined the effects of 63 pesticides on soil archaea, bacteria, fungi, protists, nematodes, arthropods and key functional gene …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Microbiome science has emerged as a central component of the One Health framework, linking human, animal, and environmental health. Although global microbiome research has expanded rapidly, a comprehensive evaluation of microbiome research development and integration …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in human health, making it a cornerstone of modern biomedical research. To study its structure and dynamics, machine learning models are increasingly used to identify key microbial patterns …
Read PDFForest type strongly influences soil microbial community composition and associated carbon cycling, yet its influence on microbial functional traits remains poorly understood. In this study, metagenomics sequencing was used to investigate soil microbial communities and …
