The gut-brain-cancer axis represents a novel and intricate connection between the gut microbiota, neurobiology, cancer progression. Recent advances have accentuated significant role of microbiota metabolites in modulating systemic processes that influence both brain health tumorigenesis. This paper explores emerging concept metabolite-mediated modulation within connection, focusing on key such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), tryptophan derivatives, secondary bile acids, lipopolysaccharides (LPS). While microbiota's impact immune regulation, neuroinflammation, tumor development is well established, gaps remain grasping how specific contribute to neuro-cancer interactions. We discuss with potential implications for neurobiology cancer, indoles polyamines, which yet be extensively studied. Furthermore, we review preclinical clinical evidence linking dysbiosis, altered metabolite profiles, tumors, showcasing limitations research gaps, particularly human longitudinal studies. Case studies investigating microbiota-based interventions, including dietary changes, fecal transplantation, probiotics, demonstrate promise but also indicate hurdles translating these findings therapies. concludes call standardized multi-omics approaches bi-directional frameworks integrating microbiome, neuroscience, oncology develop personalized therapeutic strategies patients.

Background: Brain glycogen is imperative for neuronal health, as it supports energy demands and metabolic processes. This review examines the pathways involved in storage utilization central nervous system, emphasizing their role both physiology pathology. It explores how alterations metabolism contribute to neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, conditions while highlighting bidirectional interaction between neurons glia maintaining brain homeostasis. Methods: A comprehensive search of articles published 2015 2025 was conducted using following databases: ScienceDirect, Scopus, Wiley, Web Science, Medline, PubMed. The selection relevant studies based on focus its conditions, with that did not meet inclusion criteria being excluded. Results: processes are subject rigorous regulation by astrocyte-neuron interactions, thereby ensuring homeostasis availability. dysregulation mobilization has been implicated development synaptic dysfunction, excitotoxicity, neurodegeneration a variety disorders. For instance, aberrant accumulation diseases such Lafora disease associated severe neurodegeneration, impaired shown exacerbate deficits Alzheimer's epilepsy. Conclusions: Targeting represents promising approach therapeutic intervention However, translation these strategies human models remains challenging, particularly regard long-term safety specificity glycogen-targeted therapies.

The role of the intestinal microbiota and its influence on neurodegenerative disorders has recently been extensively explored, especially in context Parkinson’s disease (PD). In particular, immunomodulation, impact inflammation, participation gut–brain axis are under ongoing investigations. Recent studies have revealed new data that could be important for exploring neurodegeneration mechanisms connected with gut microbiota, potentially leading to development methods treatment. this review, potential roles future disease-modifying therapies were discussed properties microbiota—including impacts metabolism short-chain fatty acids vitamins—were summarized, a particular focus atypical Parkinsonian syndromes. This review focused detailed description numerous through which influences processes. explored connections between evolution progression Finally, derived results regarding alterations syndromes comparison previously described PD was also included.
