Dietary prevention of undernutrition reduces intestinal inflammation associated with an anti-inflammatory profile of gut microbiota in a preclinical model

Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have a high-risk for undernutrition. Undernutrition is associated with higher complications such as an increased mortality rate, a higher disease activity and an impaired quality of life in IBD patients. The aim of this study was to...

Parabens and estrogen-mediated cancers: unraveling coincidence, co-occurrence, and causality

Abstract Paraben esters are endocrine disruptors linked to breast cancer, yet their role in other estrogen-mediated cancers remains limited. Preclinical evidence suggests that parabens accumulate in tissues and may promote carcinogenesis, while clinical data indicate widespread e...

Coupling of stable isotope probing and metagenomics reveals the diversity of viruses infecting formatotrophs during anaerobic digestion process

Abstract Background Viruses play a major role in regulating microbial community composition and activity, yet their diversity and host associations in anaerobic digestion (AD)—a complex biotechnological process converting organic waste into biogas—remain poorly characterized. Lin...
