In recent years, new probiotic-related concepts such as postbiotics and paraprobiotics have been used to describe non-viable microorganisms or bacterial-free extracts that may provide benefits to the host by offering bioactivities additional to probiotics. However, several aspects related to these postbiotics and paraprobiotics bioactivities remain unexplored or are poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this work is to provide an overview of the general aspects and emerging trends of postbiotics and paraprobiotics, such as conceptualization of terms, production, characterization, bioactivities, health-promoting effects, bioengineering approaches, and applications. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that some postbiotics and paraprobiotics exhibit bioactivities such as anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-proliferative, antioxidant, and antimicrobial. These bioactivities could be involved in health-promoting effects observed in human and clinical trials, but despite the scientific evidence available, the mechanisms of action and the signaling pathways involved have not been fully elucidated. Nevertheless, paraprobiotics and postbiotics possess valuable potential for the development of biotechnological products with functional ingredients for the nutraceutical industry.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, can bring health benefits to the host. Most of these organisms are found naturally in the human gastrointestinal tract. Escherichia coli strains Nissle 1917 (EcN), and CEC15 have shown beneficial effects in murine models of intestinal inflammation, such as colitis and mucositis.

Article Synopsis
- The human gut hosts trillions of microbes that play a key role in health, but imbalances (dysbiosis) can lead to chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- IBD, a significant global health concern, includes two major types: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, both characterized by inflammation in the digestive system.
- To address the rising rates and severity of IBD, modifying gut microbiota through dietary supplements like prebiotics, probiotics, paraprobiotics, and postbiotics can be explored as potential treatment options.

Probiotics are "live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amount, confer health benefits on the host". They can be found in certain foods like yogurt and kefir and in dietary supplements. The introduction of bacterial derivatives has not only contributed to disease control but has also exhibited promising outcomes, such as improved survival rates, immune enhancement, and growth promotion effects.

Microbiota changes throughout infancy and can be modified by biotic supplementation, which includes probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and post-biotics. Given the potential influence of the microbiome on infant sleep, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effect of biotic supplementation on sleep behaviours in full-term infants aged 0-12 months. In June 2023, we searched seven databases for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of biotic supplementation intervention studies using synonymous terms for 'infant' AND 'biotic' AND 'sleep' (PROSPERO registration ID: CRD42022358822).

Objective: The aim of this study was to reveal certain features (anti-tumor/microbial activities) of postbiotics and heat-inactivated paraprobiotics obtained from two different bacteria with determined probiotic properties, which are thought to contribute to human health.
Methods: In the study, Lactobacillus reuteri ENA31 and L. rhamnosus GAA6 strains were used.
