Purpose Of Review: Bidirectional regulation between neurons and immune cells in the intestine governs essential physiological processes, including digestion, metabolism and motility, while also controlling intestinal inflammation and maintaining tissue homeostasis. This review covers recent advances and future research challenges focused on the regulatory molecules and potential therapeutic targets in neuron-immune interactions within the intestine.
Recent Findings: Recently identified molecular and cellular pathways have been shown to regulate neuron-immune cell cross talk in the context of maintaining tissue homeostasis, modulating inflammation, and promoting intestinal repair. Additionally, behaviors governed by the central nervous system, including feeding and stress responses, can play key roles in regulating intestinal immunity and inflammation.
Summary: This review emphasizes recent progress in understanding the complex interplay between the nervous system and intestinal immune system and outlines future research directions. These advances have the potential to lead to innovative therapies targeting gastrointestinal disorders including inflammatory bowel diseases, allergic responses and cancer.

Microalgae, have emerged as a potentially promising feed additive option due to their beneficial nutritional profile rich in bioactive compounds. The present study examines the incorporation of Chlorella sorokiniana (at 0.1% and 1%) into chicken feed compared to control feed and its effect on growth and health parameters of poultry grown at pilot plant scale.

This study investigates how microbiome colonization influences the development of intestinal type 3 immunity in neonates. The results showed that reduced oxygen levels in the small intestine of neonatal rats induced by Saccharomyces boulardii accelerated microbiome colonization and type 3 immunity development, which protected against Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection. Microbiome maturation increased the abundance of microbiome-encoded bile salt hydrolase (BSH) genes and hyocholic acid (HCA) levels.

The gut microbiota influences the reactivity of the immune system, and has emerged as an anti-inflammatory commensal. Here, we investigated whether its lysate could prevent severe forms of neuroinflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice and how this preventive strategy affects the gut microbiota and immune response. Lysate of anaerobically cultured (Pd lysate) was orally administered to C57BL/6 mice in four weekly doses.

Mannose oligosaccharide (MOS) has been shown to promote animal growth, maintain intestinal health, and activate the intestinal immune system. However, the question of whether MOS can stimulate the immune system and alleviate acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-induced gut damage remains unresolved. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of MOS pretreatment on the immunological and anti-inflammatory capabilities of rats with ASA-induced intestinal injury.
