Our understanding of host-microbe interactions has broadened through numerous studies over the past decades. However, most investigations primarily focus on dominant members within ecosystems while neglecting low-abundance microorganisms. Moreover, laboratory animals usually do not have microorganisms beyond bacteria. The phenotypes observed in animals, including immune system, displayed notable discrepancies when compared to real-world observations due diverse microbial community natural environments. Interestingly, recent unveiled beneficial roles played by Despite their rarity, these keystone taxa play a pivotal role shaping composition and fulfilling specific functions host. Consequently, become imperative unravel true commensalism. In this review, we provide comprehensive overview important findings how commensal microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa, interact with host contribute phenotypes, emphasis system. Indeed, vital development host's influence disease status, key communities niches. Understanding microbes is will lead better relationships.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common of digestive system with high mortality and morbidity rates. Gut microbiota found in intestines, especially colorectum, has structured crosstalk interactions host that affect several physiological processes. The gut include CRC-promoting bacterial species, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum, Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis, CRC-protecting Clostridium butyricum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, which along other microorganisms, viruses fungi, play critical roles development CRC.

Reprogrammed metabolism is a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC cells are geared toward rapid proliferation, requiring nutrients and the removal cellular waste in nutrient-poor environments. Intestinal stem (ISCs), primary cell origin for CRCs, must adapt their along adenoma-carcinoma sequence to unique features complex microenvironment that include interactions with intestinal epithelial cells, immune stromal commensal microbes, dietary components. Emerging evidence implicates modifiable risk factors related environment, such as diet, important pathogenesis. Here, we focus on describing ISCs, diets influence initiation, genetics metabolism, tumor microenvironment. The mechanistic links between environmental factors, metabolic adaptations, enhancing or supporting tumorigenesis becoming better understood. Thus, greater knowledge holds promise improved prevention treatment.

Abstract The intestinal epithelium is the first line of defense and acts as an interface between vast microbial world within gastrointestinal tract body’s internal milieu. not only facilitates nutrient absorption but also plays a key role in defending against pathogens regulating immune system. Central to maintaining healthy are stem cells (ISCs), which essential for replenishing throughout individual’s lifespan. Recent research has unveiled intricate interplay ISCs their niche, includes various cell types, extracellular components, signaling molecules. In this review, we delve into most recent advances ISC research, with focus on roles mucosal homeostasis how functionality influenced by niche environment. explored regulatory mechanisms that govern behavior, emphasizing dynamic adaptability face challenges. Understanding regulation impact aging environmental factors crucial advancing our knowledge developing translational approaches.
