Gut microbiota and phytoestrogen-associated infertility in southern white rhinoceros

TL;DR: Comparing gut microbial communities, fecal phytoestrogens, and fertility of SWR to another rhinoceros species, which consumes a similar diet but exhibits high levels of fertility in captivity, suggests reproductive outcomes may be driven by gut microbiota’s transformation of dietary phy toestrogens in captive SWR females.

Prebiotics in atopic dermatitis prevention and management

TL;DR: This work reviews immune dysfunction and microbiome association in AD and potential use of prebiotics in the prevention and management of AD and finds that probiotics supplement the gut with “good bacteria” and prebiotic promote the growth of "good bacteria" on the skin and in the gut.

Role of the Gut Microbiota in Maintaining GI Health: Highlights on Inflammatory Bowel Disease

TL;DR: It is apparent that perturbations of a certain homeostatic system may lead to a dysregulated interaction between microbes and the host intestinal mucosal immune system, resulting in aberrant or disproportionate inflammatory conditions.

Biobased Materials for Medical Applications

TL;DR: The important role of carbon will be highlighted while focusing on the role of biobased materials in healthcare and medical products including high surface area adsorbents, recycling of biowaste products, and tailored gut microbiome-based products and therapies that can proactively prevent health challenges.

Microbial function is related to behavior of an invasive anuran

TL;DR: The relationships between toad gut microbiota, behavioral traits and the presence and intensity of co- introduced lungworms in toad samples from both ends of their Australian range support the “holobiont concept” and highlight the need for experimental manipulations to detect causal relationships between microbiota, parasites and host behavior.

Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.
