The impact of the gut microbiome on human health is increasingly recognized as dysbiosis has been found to be associated with a spectrum of diseases. Here, we review the databases of genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs), which have paved the way for investigations into the metabolic capabilities of gut microbes and their interspecies dynamics. We further discuss the strategies for developing community-level GEMs, which are crucial for understanding the complex interactions within microbial communities and between the microbiome and its host. Such GEMs can guide the design of synthetic microbial communities for disease treatment. Finally, we explore advances in personalized gut microbiome modeling. These advancements broaden our mechanistic understanding and hold promise for applications in precision medicine and therapeutic interventions.

The extensive presence of per-/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the environment and their adverse effects on organisms have garnered increasing concern. With the shift of industrial development from legacy to emerging PFASs, expanding the understanding of molecular responses to legacy and emerging PFASs is essential to accurately assess their risks to organisms. Compared with traditional toxicological approaches, omics technologies including transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics/lipidomics, and microbiomics allow comprehensive analysis of the molecular changes that occur in organisms after PFAS exposure.

Colon cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and has been increasingly linked to the gut microbiome. Clostridium butyricum (CB), a probiotic, has demonstrated potential in influencing colon cancer cell behavior, particularly through the modulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs. This study examines the effects of CB on the expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs in SW480 colon cancer cells and their association with apoptosis.

Mucosal tissues, including those in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, are critical barrier surfaces for pathogen invasion. Infections at these sites not only trigger local immune response, but also recruit immune cells from other tissues. Emerging evidence in mouse models and human samples indicate that the immune crosstalk between lung and gut critically impact and determine the course of respiratory disease.

Interstitial cells of Cajal in the plane of the myenteric plexus (ICC-MY) serve as electrical pacemakers in the stomach and small intestine. A similar population of cells is found in the colon, but these cells do not appear to generate regular slow wave potentials, as characteristic in more proximal gut regions. Ca handling mechanisms in ICC-MY of the mouse proximal colon were studied using confocal imaging of muscles from animals expressing GCaMP6f exclusively in ICC.
