ABSTRACT The One Health approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, recognizing that health each is interdependent influenced by shared ecosystems. Nutrition research plays a critical role in improving outcomes across these domains, with implications for sustainability food security. Organ‐on‐chip (OoC) technologies have emerged as innovative tools replicating key organ functions, supporting disease modeling, drug discovery, personalized medicine. They also hold promise alternatives to traditional animal models. This systematic review examines potential OoC within framework nutrition research, focusing on (1) their ability replicate human (2) applications safety ecotoxicology, (3) use studying components’ effects. Challenges future directions adoption are discussed. Although fully complexity vivo physiology remains challenge, OoCs offer promising platform simulate functions interactions. These systems significant advancing assessments, impacts addressing systems. such standardization, scalability, accessibility, biases toward models remain. Despite hurdles, current advancements underscore versatility OoCs, positioning them valuable driving innovation feed safety, ecotoxicology.

Exposure to toxic substances, introduced into our daily lives during industrialization and modernization, can disrupt the epithelial barriers in skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal systems, leading microbial dysbiosis inflammation. Athletes physically active individuals are at increased risk of exposure agents that damage microbiome, their extreme physical exercise exerts stress on many organs, resulting tissue Epithelial barrier-damaging substances include surfactants enzymes cleaning products, laundry dishwasher detergents, chlorine swimming pools, microplastics, air pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, diesel exhaust. Athletes' high-calorie diet often relies processed foods may contain food emulsifiers other additives cause barrier dysfunction dysbiosis. The type material used sport equipment clothing extensive increase inflammatory effects. Excessive travel-related stress, sleep disturbances different microbe represent additional factors. Here, we review detrimental impact microbiome; bring a new perspective factors affecting health performance athletes individuals.

The purpose of this article is to present selected food additives as disruptors normal intestinal homeostasis with a potential impact on the development metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). A comprehensive literature search was conducted in three major electronic databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. MASLD prevalent condition that closely related global rise obesity. Its pathogenesis multifactorial, genetic, environmental, factors playing key role. “multiple-hit” hypothesis suggests Western-style diet, rich ultra-processed foods, saturated fats, additives, combined low physical activity, contributes obesity, which promotes lipid accumulation liver. Recent studies underscore role impaired MASLD. Food including preservatives, emulsifiers, sweeteners, affect gut health function. Selected preservatives inhibit pathogenic microorganisms but disrupt microbiota, leading changes permeability dysfunction. Some emulsifiers thickeners can cause inflammation alter microbiome, contributing steatosis. Furthermore, use sweeteners such sucralose aspartame has been linked metabolism microbial composition, turn disorders.

Abstract Modern diets are increasingly dominated by ultra‐processed foods, a shift driven urbanization and lifestyle changes. Among these, meat products (UPMPs) particularly popular due to their appealing flavor texture. However, emerging evidence highlights potential health risks associated with UPMPs. Although rich in high‐quality proteins, the processing methods used UPMPs can affect protein digestibility. Moderate techniques, such as sous‐vide cooking, fermentation, enzymatic tenderization, enhance digestion nutrient absorption, whereas excessive may lead aggregation cross‐linking, reducing Additionally, overuse of additives thermal key concerns UPMP production, leading formation potentially harmful substances, including acrylamide, heterocyclic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, advanced glycation end products. This review examines how different techniques influence digestibility UPMPs, elucidates pathways through which substances generated, assesses impact on gut health, focus microbiota colon. Our synthesis current research indicates that consumption contributes dysbiosis, compromises barrier, increases risk colorectal cancer, though dose‐dependent effects require further clarification. Future should parameters moderate processing, explore natural alternatives additives, examine dose–response relationship between risks, evaluate individual factors, genetics metabolism, impacts

Abstract Background and Objective The updated World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guideline recommends an annual mean concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) not exceeding 5 or 15 μg/m 3 in the short‐term (24 h) for no more than 3–4 days annually. However, 90% global population is currently exposed to daily concentrations surpassing these limits, especially during extreme weather conditions due transboundary dust transport influenced by climate change. Herein, effect respirable <PM2.5 inorganic silica particle exposures on epithelial barrier integrity was simultaneously evaluated within biomimetic microfluidic platform‐based airway (AEB)‐on‐a‐chip human bronchoscopic ex vivo tissue models, comparatively. Methods Silica particles at average size 1 μm, referred as <PM2.5, dose‐dependently tested MTT LDH analyses. elicited dose 800 μg/mL applied cells (Calu‐3) seeded membrane air–liquid interface AEB‐on‐a‐chip platform, which operated under static dynamic bronchoscopy bronchial slices 72 h. For both healthy groups were comparatively investigated. Computational fluid dynamics simulations performed assess shear stress profiles different flow conditions. Qualitative quantitative analyses carried out evaluate resilience via cell survivability, morphology, integrity, permeability, inflammation. Results In exposure PM2.5 disrupted AEB increasing decreasing adhesion‐barrier markers such ZO‐1 , Vinculin ACE2 CD31 impaired viability increased expression levels proinflammatory markers; IFNs IL‐6 IL‐1s TNF‐α CD68 CD80 Inos mostly Besides, decreased viability, β‐catenin E‐cadherin also response with elevated IL‐1 α, IFN‐Ɣ markers, observed after tissue.
