Open AccessEffect of a multi-strain probiotic mixture consumption on anxiety and depression symptoms induced in adult mice by postnatal maternal separation
Intestinal microbial composition not only affects the health of the gut but also influences centrally mediated systems involved in mood, through the “gut-brain” axis, a bidirectional communication between gut ...

Open AccessGarlic consumption in relation to colorectal cancer risk and to alterations of blood bacterial DNA
Garlic consumption has been inversely associated to intestinal adenoma (IA) and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, although evidence is not consistent. Gut microbiota has been implied in CRC pathogenesis and is als...

Higher bacterial DNAemia can affect the impact of a polyphenol-rich dietary pattern on biomarkers of intestinal permeability and cardiovascular risk in older subjects
Aging can be characterized by increased systemic low-grade inflammation, altered gut microbiota composition, and increased intestinal permeability (IP). The intake of polyphenol-rich foods is proposed as a pro...

Virus-like particles isolated from reactivated biological soil crusts
A novel method was developed for virus-like particle (VLP) extraction and characterization from biological soil crust (BSC) after microbial community reactivation. The method consisted of a single cell analysi...

Open AccessBacterial DNAemia is associated with serum zonulin levels in older subjects
The increased presence of bacteria in blood is a plausible contributing factor in the development and progression of aging-associated diseases. In this context, we performed the quantification and the taxonomi...

Open AccessEffect of a polyphenol-rich dietary pattern on intestinal permeability and gut and blood microbiomics in older subjects: study protocol of the MaPLE randomised controlled trial
During aging, alterations of the intestinal microbial ecosystem can occur contributing to immunosenescence, inflamm-aging and impairment of intestinal barrier function (increased intestinal permeability; IP). ...

Open AccessEnrichment of intestinal Lactobacillus by enhanced secretory IgA coating alters glucose homeostasis in P2rx7−/− mice
The secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) in mammalian gut protects the organism from infections and contributes to host physiology by sha** microbiota composition. The mechanisms regulating the adaptive SIgA re...

Open AccessNew insights into the relationship between taste perception and oral microbiota composition
Fairly poor data are available on the relationship between taste perception, food preferences and oral microbiota. In the present study, we investigated the hypothesis that subjects with higher responsiveness ...
