The intestinal microbiota, composed of a large population of microorganisms, is often considered a "forgotten organ" in human health and diseases. Increasing evidence indicates that dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota is closely related to colorectal cancer (CRC). The roles for intestinal microorganisms that initiated and facilitated the CRC process are becoming increasingly clear. Hypothesis models have been proposed to illustrate the complex relationship between the intestinal microbiota and CRC. Recent studies have identified , enterotoxigenic , , , , and as CRC candidate pathogens. In this review, we summarized the mechanisms involved in microbiota-related colorectal carcinogenesis, including inflammation, pathogenic bacteria, and their virulence factors, genotoxins, oxidative stress, bacterial metabolites, and biofilm. We also described the clinical values of intestinal microbiota and novel strategies for preventing and treating CRC.

Multiple myeloma (MM)-induced bone disease affects not only patients' quality of life but also their overall survival. Our previous work demonstrated that the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in MM progression and drug resistance. However, the role of altered gut microbiota in MM bone disease remains unclear.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, which can lead to kidney and heart disease, stroke, and premature death. Inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity is an effective method to relieve hypertension. Previously, we screened an active peptide KYPHVF (KF6) from Boletus griseus-Hypomyces chrysospermus with excellent ACE inhibitory activity.

Background: Heavy alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), with mixed evidence suggesting a dose-dependent nonlinear effect of alcohol on ADRD. Potential mechanisms by which alcohol may promote or attenuate brain pathology need further exploration. Although chronic alcohol consumption associates with gut microbiome alterations, it remains unclear whether microbial alterations mediate alcohol-associated neurodegeneration and cognitive decline.

Method: Utilizing data and samples from the Microbiome in Aging Gut and Brain (MiaGB) Consortium cohort, we assessed the whole genome gut microbiome metagenomics in 113 older adults (mean age 72 years [39 male and 74 female]) with high and low physical functions (measured using Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB]) and cognitive function (measure using Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA]).

Wounds in patients with diabetes present significant physical and economic challenges due to impaired healing and prolonged inflammation, exacerbated by complex interactions between microbes. Especially, the development and healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) remain an urgent clinical problem. The human gut harbors a vast microbial ecosystem comprising intestinal flora and their metabolic products.
