The gut microbiota, a dynamic ecosystem of trillions microorganisms, produces secondary metabolites that profoundly influence host health. Recent research has highlighted the significant role these metabolites, particularly short-chain fatty acids, indoles, and bile in modulating immune responses, impacting epigenetic mechanisms, contributing to disease processes. In gastrointestinal (GI) cancers such as colorectal, liver, gastric cancer, microbial can drive tumorigenesis by promoting inflammation, DNA damage, evasion. Conversely, same hold therapeutic promise, potentially enhancing responses chemotherapy immunotherapy even directly suppressing tumor growth. addition, play crucial roles infectious susceptibility resilience, mediating pathways impact pathogen resistance. By consolidating recent insights into microbiota's shaping health, this review underscores potential targeting microbiome-derived for treating GI diseases calls further microbiome-based interventions.

Chronic liver diseases, primarily metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD), and alcoholic (MetALD), viral hepatitis, can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, cancer. Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation plays a central role in the development of myofibroblasts fibrogenesis chronic diseases. However, HSC is influenced by complex microenvironments within liver, which are largely shaped interactions between HSCs various other types. Changes phenotypes mechanisms involve glucose, lipid, cholesterol metabolism, oxidative stress, unfolded protein response (UPR), autophagy, ferroptosis, senescence, nuclear receptors. Clinical interventions targeting these pathways have shown promising results addressing inflammation as well modulating glucose lipid metabolism stress responses.

Abstract As a highly complex organ with digestive, endocrine, and immune-regulatory functions, the liver is pivotal in maintaining physiological homeostasis through its roles metabolism, detoxification, immune response. Various factors including viruses, alcohol, metabolites, toxins, other pathogenic agents can compromise function, leading to acute or chronic injury that may progress end-stage diseases. While sharing common features, diseases exhibit distinct pathophysiological, clinical, therapeutic profiles. Currently, contribute approximately 2 million deaths globally each year, imposing significant economic social burdens worldwide. However, there no cure for many kinds of diseases, partly due lack thorough understanding development these Therefore, this review provides comprehensive examination epidemiology characteristics covering spectrum from conditions manifestations. We also highlight multifaceted mechanisms underlying initiation progression spanning molecular cellular levels networks. Additionally, offers updates on innovative diagnostic techniques, current treatments, potential targets presently under clinical evaluation.

Background/Objectives: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons. The gut microbiota, community microorganisms in digestive tract, has recently been implicated ALS pathogenesis through its influence on neuroinflammation and metabolic pathways. This review explores potential role microbiota metabolites progression investigates therapeutic approaches targeting microbiota. Methods: A comprehensive current literature was conducted to assess relationship between composition, microbial metabolites, patients. We searched for published reports ALS, emphasizing complex interplay dysbiosis, neuroinflammation, systemic metabolism. Special emphasis placed studies exploring short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bacterial amyloids (curli-like factors), neurotoxins such as β-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA). liver–gut axis evaluated well. changes would sustain rationale strategies probiotics, prebiotics, fecal transplantation (FMT), dietary interventions. Results: patients exhibit reduced SCFA-producing bacteria an increase potentially pathogenic genera. Of note, different do not agree common patterns being linked supporting need further, more extensive studies. Dysbiosis sometimes correlates with inflammation disrupted liver function, amplifying neuroinflammatory responses. Key including SCFAs, amyloids, BMAA, may exacerbate neuron promoting protein misfolding, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation. Emerging strategies, probiotics FMT, show restoring balance, although clinical data remain limited. Conclusions: could modulate metabolism ALS. Microbiota-targeted therapies, interventions, represent promising avenues mitigating disease progression. Further research required validate these interventions large-scale, longitudinal develop personalized microbiota-based treatments tailored individual phenotypes.
