Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is a critical intervention for individuals with end-stage liver disease; yet, post-transplant problems, especially infections, graft rejection, and chronic liver disease, are often linked to systemic inflammation. Cytokines, small signaling molecules, significantly influence immune responses during and post-liver transplantation. Nonetheless, the intricate relationships among cytokines, immune responses, and the gut microbiota, especially gut dysbiosis, are still inadequately comprehended.

Ruminococcus gnavus is a gut bacterium found in > 90% of healthy individuals, but its increased abundance is also associated with chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly Crohn's disease. Nevertheless, its global distribution and intraspecies genomic variation remain understudied. By surveying 12,791 gut metagenomes, we recapitulated known associations with metabolic diseases and inflammatory bowel disease.

This study evaluated the immune-enhancing efficacy of Limosilactobacillus fermentum KBL375 isolated from the feces of healthy Koreans. KBL375-treated splenocytes showed enhancement of cytotoxicity against YAC-1 cells, the target of natural killer (NK) cells, with an increase in CD335, granzyme B, perforin, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). Oral administration of KBL375 in mice with cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced immunosuppression improved body weight and immune functions, including immune organ indices, lymphocyte proliferations, and immunoglobulin (Ig) A levels.

Background: One of the tropical illnesses that is often overlooked is soil-transmitted helminths, or STHs. In tropical and subtropical nations, where poor sanitation and contaminated water sources are common, they mostly impact the most vulnerable populations.
Objective: The aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of STHs and related risk factors among the people living in Jigjiga town, Somali region, Eastern Ethiopia.
