Four dietary flavonoids differentially modulate the gut microbiota–barrier interaction against colitis-driven cognitive deficits

Accumulating evidence links inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to cognitive impairment driven by gut barrier disruption and dysbiosis via the gut-brain axis. Currently, the impact of dietary flavonoids on IBD-related cognitive deficits remains unclear. This study found that the sel...

Functional Specializationof Cellular and ExtracellularFractions of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron Contributes to Glycan Utilization

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt) degrades dietary glycans via carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), but their spatial distribution and functional coordination remain unclear. In this study, we characterized the "labor division" during glycan degradation across four bacterial fr...
