Axenic dietary restriction (ADR) is highly effective in extending lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans, but its effects on healthspan improvement are less well characterized. Using transmission electron microscopy, morphometric analyses, and functional assays, we found ADR can preserve tissue ultrastructure, including the cuticle, epidermis, and intestinal lumen, and reduce age-associated pathologies like gonad degeneration, uterine tumor clusters, pharyngeal deterioration, and intestinal atrophy. However, there was no notable improvement in behavioral and functional metrics. Our results underscore that lifespan extension through ADR does not inherently translate to broad healthspan improvements.

Background: The gut microbiota can facilitate host growth under nutrient-constrained conditions. However, whether this effect is limited to certain bacterial species remains largely unclear, and the relevant underlying mechanisms remain to be thoroughly investigated.
Results: We found that the microbiota was required for Bactrocera dorsalis larval growth under poor dietary conditions.

Recent research has highlighted the essential role of the microbiome in maintaining skeletal muscle physiology. The microbiota influences muscle health by regulating lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, and insulin sensitivity. However, metabolic disturbances such as obesity can lead to dysbiosis, impairing muscle function.

The present study was carried out to valorise cereal (rice and wheat) bran for the development of low-cost liquid consortium bioformulation. Different concentrations of bran-based liquid media formulations were evaluated for the growth of consortium biofertilizer cultures (Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas sp.).

Aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1) is the enzyme synthesizing itaconate, an immuno-regulatory metabolite tuning host-pathogen interactions. Such functions are achieved by affecting metabolic pathways regulating inflammation and microbe survival. However, at the whole-body level, metabolic roles of itaconate remain largely unresolved.
