Gut Microbiota and Cancer Correlates

TL;DR: It is being envisaged that by the involvement of microbiome in augmenting antitumor responses to therapeutic approaches, potentially a new era of research with potentially broad implication on cancer treatment could be established.

The development of early life gut microbiota in health and allergic disease

Harm Wopereis
TL;DR: It was shown that CMA-associated infant microbiota resulted in an atopic orientation, with increased immunoglobulin E levels and increased levels of lactate and acetate as also characteristic for breastfed infants, and that infants who developed eczema by 18 months of age showed an altered development of bacterial taxa and metabolites around the time that complementary feeding was started.

Prebiotic effect of porang oligo-glucomannan using fecal batch culture fermentation

TL;DR: In this article , a prebiotic index of 10.29 was obtained for porang oligo-glucomannan (POG), which is a polysaccharide extracted from Amorphophallus oncophylus and its degradation product is POG, which has been used as an emulsifier, thickener or as nutritional supplement to counter many diseases.

In Vitro Simulation of Human Colonic Fermentation: A Practical Approach towards Models’ Design and Analytical Tools

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a technical approach of the in vitro gut models available to evaluate the impact of diet on human colonic microbiota and make comments on the main characteristics, parameters, applicability, faecal inoculum preparation, and analytical tools.

Neonatal Programming of Microbiota Composition: A Plausible Idea That Is Not Supported by the Evidence

TL;DR: A critical review of the literature on the long-term repercussions of selected neonatal modulations of the gut microbiota indicates that sustained programming of the microbiota composition by neonatal events is unlikely, but this does not exclude the microbiota having a role in DOHaD due to a possible interaction with tissue and organ development during the critical windows of neonatal life.

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.
