Manipulation of the gut microbiota using oral microecological preparations has shown great promise in treating various inflammatory disorders. However, delivering these while maintaining their disease-site specificity, stability, and therapeutic efficacy is highly challenging due to dynamic changes associated with pathological microenvironments gastrointestinal tract. Herein, a superior armored probiotic an inflammation-targeting capacity developed enhance timely action bacterial therapy against bowel disease (IBD). The coating strategy exhibits suitability for diverse strains negligible influence on viability. This study demonstrates that probiotics have ultraresistance extreme intraluminal conditions stable mucoadhesive capacity. Notably, HA-functionalized nanoarmor equips inflamed-site targetability through multiple interactions, thus enhancing IBD therapy. Moreover, "awakening" ingested responsive transferrin-directed degradation at site inflammation beneficial therapy, which requires cells be fully functional. Given its easy preparation favorable biocompatibility, single-cell approach provides effective advanced delivery biomedical applications cellular level.

These microbes interact with dynamic interdependent manner. They generate signals by presenting vast repertoire antigenic determinants metabolites that influence development, maturation immunological function homeostasis. At same time, both innate adaptive systems are involved modulating stable ecosystem between commensal pathogenic microorganisms. Hence, host work together maintain homeostasis synergistically. In susceptible hosts, disruption such harmonious state can greatly affect health lead various auto-inflammatory autoimmune disorders. this review, we discuss our current understanding interactions immunity an emphasis on: a) important players immunity; b) contribution metabolites; c) effect as well alteration microbiome molecular mechanisms driving autoimmunity diseases.

ABSTRACT The commensal bacterium Alistipes shahii is a core microbe of the human gut microbiome and its abundance negatively correlated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, fundamental role in regulating response remains unknown. Using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model, we examined effect A. strain As360 intervention on host found that alleviated disease activity index, colon shortening, colonic histopathological lesion. levels tight junction proteins (mainly ZO1 claudin-1) were decreased DSS-induced mice, whereas these elevated mice treatment. In addition, treatment led to alterations cytokine release, especially an increase IL10.
