Shotgun metagenomic data analysis for investigating biogeochemical cycles in the environment remains challenging, primarily due to the steep learning curve, intensive time investment, and high computational demands, all of which pose significant barriers for many …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Gut microbiome disturbances have been proposed as contributors to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a multisystem neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor neuron loss, extra-motor symptoms, and rapid progression. Mechanistic links between dysbiosis, epithelial and blood-brain barrier …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The mixture of high-temperature Daqu and medium-temperature Daqu can be used to produce Chinese Jiang-Nong Jianxiang Baijiu. This study used metagenomic sequencing and physicochemical analysis to investigate the microbial community and functionality of high-temperature Daqu …
Read PDFLet's review the role of gut microbiota in pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis B infection as addressed in by Zhu <i>et al</i>. Zhu <i>et al</i> used high-throughput technology to characterize the microbial ecosystems, which led to …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Cancer patients face elevated risks of severe pulmonary infections due to malignancy-related immunosuppression and anti-neoplastic therapy. Comprehensive data on the etiology and prognostic factors remain limited.<h4>Methods</h4>This prospective cohort study enrolled 115 patients with malignancies and …
Read PDFColorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health challenge. Emerging research highlights the pivotal role of the gut microbiota in influencing CRC risk, progression, and treatment response. Metagenomic approaches, especially high-throughput shotgun sequencing, have provided …
Read PDFWith human activities like exploration, geological investigation and tourism, the structure and function of karst cave microbial communities are prone to change. In this study, sediments from seven different spots in the Dushan Tian Cave …
Read PDFVegetatively propagated crops, including cassava, sweet potato, banana, and potato, are susceptible to mixed-pathogen infections resulting from the continuous use of clonal planting material and infrequent seed replacement. A diverse array of viruses, bacteria, and …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, is a rare, aggressive lymphoma strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. Its clinical manifestations are often non-specific, and atypical presentations outside the nasal cavity, such as lip swelling or oral ulcers, …
Read PDFThe human gut is one of the most densely populated microbial environments, home to trillions of microorganisms that live in harmony with the body. These microbes help with digestion and play key roles in maintaining …
Read PDFThe production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, by ruminants during feed digestion is designated enteric methane emissions (EME) and is mainly produced by the rumen microbiome. Reliably recording EME in large populations is currently …
Read PDFGenerating longitudinal and multi-layered big biological data is crucial for effectively implementing artificial intelligence (AI) and systems biology approaches in characterising whole-body biological functions in health and complex disease states. Big biological data consists of …
Read PDFIt is known that gut microbiota dysbiosis can lead to obesity by disrupting energy consumption and metabolism. Probiotic supplements are a potential therapeutic option for improving intestinal homeostasis. The aim of this study was to …
Read PDFProstate cancer (PCa) is a major global public health challenge, driven by a multifactorial interplay of genetic, epigenetic, hormonal and environmental determinants. In recent years, the human microbiome has emerged as a critical and previously …
Read PDFMeat serves as a prime medium for the growth of foodborne pathogens due to its rich protein content and high water activity, contributing significantly to the global burden of foodborne illnesses. This review synthesizes current …
Read PDFThe human gut microbiota constitutes the microbial ecosystem within the human gut. It consists of trillions of mostly prokaryotic microorganisms living in the gut lumen, which have an active metabolic role in the regulation of …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that maternal-prenatal gut microbiome disturbances shape offspring allergic outcomes through modulation of the in utero immune environment. Yet, no comprehensive clinical studies in human mother–offspring dyads have deconvoluted the maternal-prenatal gut …
Read PDFCOVID-19 is associated with gut microbiome alterations that may influence disease outcomes through immune and inflammatory pathways. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated global evidence on gut dysbiosis in COVID-19. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web …
