Regional structure of the intestinal epithelium is critical for its function and is associated with the risk of specific gut diseases. However, how regionalization is established and how it influences disease susceptibility remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of the gut micr...

Women have a lower incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) than men, however, they have a higher incidence of right-sided colon cancer (RCC). This is of concern as patients with RCC have the poorest clinical outcomes among all CRC patients. Aberrant metabolism is a known hallmark and therapeutic tar...

Pre-IBD is a transitional state between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in which chronic high-fat diet intake and antibiotic exposure significantly increase intestinal inflammatory susceptibility. However, the underlying mechanisms and effective therapeutic st...

In this era of precision medicine, there is an increasingly urgent need for highly sensitive tests for detecting tumors such as colon cancer (CC), a silent disease where the first symptoms may take 10-15 yr to appear. Mass spectrometry-based lipidomics is an emerging tool for such clinical diagno...

SCFAs are the main microbial fermentation products from dietary fibers in colon and play a key role in keeping healthy in the whole-body. However, differences of SCFAs concentration in the serum and colon samples collected from rats had attracted few attentions. Here, we optimized the extract and...

Untargeted metabolomics was performed on colon tissue from 26 C57BL/6 mice to investigate metabolic mechanisms underlying Rothia mucilaginosa-mediated constipation alleviation. Mice were divided into normal control (NC, n=8), loperamide-induced constipation model control (MC, n=8), and R. mucilag...
