In this study, we evaluated the effect of a specific synbiotic on CAC (AOM/DSS-induced colitis-associated cancer). We confirmed that the synbiotic intervention was able to protect the intestinal barrier and inhibit CAC occurrence via upregulating tight junction proteins and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, the synbiotic significantly improved the disorder of the colonic microbiota of CAC mice, promoted the formation of SCFAs and the production of secondary bile acids, and alleviated the accumulation of primary bile acids in the CAC mice. Meanwhile, the synbiotic could significantly inhibit the abnormal activation of the intestinal Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway significantly related to IL-23. In a word, the synbiotic can inhibit the occurrence and development of colorectal tumors and it may be a functional food to prevent inflammation-related colon tumors, and the research also provided a theoretical basis for improving the intestinal microecological environment through diet therapy.

Introduction: Anemia is a common global health problem, particularly in impoverished regions, with a high incidence rate. The condition is multifactorial, with iron deficiency being one of the most prevalent causes. Current treatment for anemia often relies on iron supplements or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, although these therapies may show limited efficacy for some patients.

Background & Aims: Considerable interest has been recently given to the potential role of the gut-brain axis (GBA) -a two-way communication network between the gut microbiota and the central nervous system- in the pathogenesis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), suggesting the potential usefulness of probiotic and synbiotic supplementations. In light of the limited available evidence, synbiotic efficacy in ADHD children not taking medications should be clarified. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a synbiotic dietary supplementation on fatty acids levels as well as on microbiota composition, behaviour, cognition, and brain function in children with ADHD.

Article Synopsis
- Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) improve cancer treatment but face challenges due to patient resistance, making gut microbiota important for enhancing immune response and therapy effectiveness.
- The review links specific gut bacteria to better outcomes in various cancers, proposing microbiota as a potential biomarker for predicting ICI responses and exploring ways to boost therapy through microbiota-based interventions.
- It emphasizes the necessity for detailed studies to verify the role of gut microbiota in treatment effectiveness and calls for strategies to personalize cancer therapies through microbiota modifications.

Background: Dysfunctional eating behaviors, and their modulators, are an important component in the prevalence of malnutrition. The gut microbiome, acting through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, is implicated as a modifiable factor in eating behavior. ObjectivesThis systematic review investigated the influence of the gut microbiome on human eating behavior and their modulators (appetite, satiety, energy/food intake, weight loss/gain).

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effects of a specific combination of synbiotics—probiotics and prebiotics—on obesity among 80 individuals over 12 weeks.
- Participants were randomly assigned to consume either synbiotics or a placebo, with various health metrics monitored before and after the intervention.
- Results showed that synbiotics significantly reduced body fat, waist size, and harmful cholesterol levels while promoting beneficial gut bacteria and hormone changes, particularly benefiting those with abnormal cholesterol levels.
