TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the fact that the ageing process deeply affects the structure of the human gut microbiota, as well as its homeostasis with the host's immune system, because of its crucial role in the host physiology and health status.

TL;DR: Treatment with VSL#3 is effective in the prevention of the onset of acute pouchitis and improves quality of life of patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.

TL;DR: High-level consumption of plant foodstuffs consistent with an MD is associated with beneficial microbiome-related metabolomic profiles in subjects ostensibly consuming a Western diet, as well as higher urinary trimethylamine oxide levels in individuals with lower adherence to the MD.

TL;DR: It is shown that the Hadza have higher levels of microbial richness and biodiversity than Italian urban controls, and enrichment in Prevotella, Treponema and unclassified Bacteroidetes, as well as a peculiar arrangement of Clostridiales taxa, may enhance the hadza’s ability to digest and extract valuable nutrition from fibrous plant foods.
