Dietary fibers are the important components of the diet with functional properties. The importance of optimal intake of dietary fibers for saving health, gastrointestinal functions, prevention of metabolic disorders (overweight, obesity, hyperlipidemia), reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cancer diseases has been proved. The dose-dependent effect of dietary fibers, their quantitative and qualitative characteristics, as well as food sources in the structure of nutrition are discussed. Different approaches to standardization the consumption of dietary fibers, existing in the world practice, are presented.

Purpose Of Review: The advent of checkpoint immunotherapy has dramatically changed the outcomes for patients with cancer. However, a considerable number of patients have little or no response to therapy. We review recent findings on the connection between the gut microbiota and the immune system, exploring whether this link could enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Objective Of The Review: Edible mushrooms are found to be foods with high nutritional content, which have been shown to be more widely used ingredients in cooking in traditional dishes. This article explores the rising trend in the use of edible mushrooms in new formulations of functional foods, taking advantage of their properties and benefits in human health.
Recent Findings: The use of mushrooms as an ingredient in new or modified food formulations is driven by solid evidence of their nutritional content and bioactivity.

Background: Consuming prebiotics demonstrated therapeutic potential against obesity, as illustrated by our previous study on xylooligosaccharide (XOS), revealing that XOS reduced adiposity, diminished systemic inflammation, and restored cognitive function in obese insulin-resistant rats through the gut-brain axis. Fresh bananas at various ripening stages are being transformed into snacks, indicating potential as prebiotic-based treats enriched with fructooligosaccharide and inulin. Despite those findings, there remains a notable gap in the literature concerning the impact of these prebiotic-based snacks on brain inflammation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and cognitive function in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats.

The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA.
Background: Microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, are a principal player in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathogenesis. Their surveillance of the brain leads to interaction with the protein aggregates that drive AD pathogenesis, most notably Amyloid Beta (Aβ). Aβ can elicit attempts from microglia to clear and degrade it using phagocytic machinery, spurring damaging neuroinflammation in the process.
