Microbiota-released extracellular vesicles (MEVs) have emerged as a key player in intercellular signaling. However, their involvement in the gut-brain axis has been poorly investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cargo capacity of MEVs for bioactive metabolites and their interacti...
Dietary regimen exerts a dominant influence in reshaping the gut microbiota structure and microbial metabolite types and levels in S. chuatsi, subsequently affecting host physiological functions like immunity, and has a more pronounced effect than environmen...
Maintaining the integrity of the mucus layer is essential for host health. Studies have implicated that reduced or abnormal mucus production may lead to intestinal inflammation. When dietary nutrients are abundant in the gut, mucin degradation by microbes decreases. However, when nutrient availab...
Bamboo rats (Rhizomys pruinosus) are among the few mammals that lives on a bamboo-based diet which is mainly composed of lignocellulose. However, the mechanisms of adaptation of their gut microbiome and metabolic systems in the degradation of lignocellulose are largely unknown. Here, we ...
Background: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are known to modulate host physiology, but their differential interactions with the gut microbiota and consequent host metabolic effects remain poorly understood.
Methods: We employed shotgun metagenomics, untargeted met...

Amidst the mismatch between domestic feed supply and demand in China, along with the competition for food between humans and animals, optimizing feed efficiency has become crucial for industry growth. Nevertheless, the biological processes driving variations in feed efficiency remain unexplored. ...
