Summary: This systematic review aims to identify clinical, microbial, and metabolomic biomarkers in donors and recipients that predict the response to FMT in UC. The results suggest that distinct changes in gut microbiota profiles, along with specific baseline characteristics and microbial and metabolomic alterations, may predispose patients towards a successful therapeutic outcome.

Summary: The MUC2 mucus barrier plays a crucial role in ulcerative colitis (UC). Interventions such as dietary adjustment, repair of the mucus barrier, microbiota transplantation, and targeted elimination of pathogenic bacteria can reduce the occurrence and recurrence of UC, maintaining a long-term remission period.

Summary: This study found that taxifolin can ameliorate DSS-induced colitis by altering gut microbiota to increase the production of SCFAs, thereby reducing intestinal inflammation and mucosal damage.

Summary: Research found that the majority of Dutch patients are willing to participate in faecal sample collection for gut microbiome research, mainly driven by altruistic motives. Storing samples in the home freezer and unclear sampling procedures were identified as the main barriers to participation. Providing clear instructions and explaining the purpose of sampling can increase participant willingness.

Summary: Fecal microbiota transplantation is a promising treatment for microbiota dysbiosis associated diseases. This study investigated the effect of different types of donor-derived microbiota on FMT efficacy. The research found two dominant types of microbiota in CDI and IBD patients, and observed the interaction between recipient and donor-derived microbiota during FMT.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) with glucocorticoids as induction therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC). The results showed that FMT was as effective as glucocorticoids in inducing remission in active mild to moderate UC, with fewer adverse events. Changes in certain cytokines in the serum might be related to the efficacy of FMT therapy in UC.

Summary: This study analyzed 140 patients with active UC treated with FMT, showing that younger age, disease extent E2, and endoscopic Mayo score 2 significantly predict the achievement of clinical remission in active UC with FMT. The prediction model developed in this study can aid in selecting individuals for FMT, but further validation in larger cohorts is necessary.

Summary: This study characterized the differences in gut microbiota between two FMT donors and found that donor microbiota stability and species evenness were associated with therapeutic efficacy in UC. These findings have important implications for improving FMT donor selection.

Summary: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been shown to improve UC symptoms. Results of the study indicate that frozen FMT has a better therapeutic effect in treating UC in rat models compared to fresh FMT.

Summary: Gut dysbiosis and bile acid metabolism disturbance are involved in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of fucoidan on BA metabolism and gut microbiota in dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis mice. Our results showed that fucoidan effectively suppressed colonic inflammation and repaired the gut barrier. In addition, fucoidan increased the relative abundance of certain bacteria families and short-chain fatty acids, while modulating bile acid metabolism. These findings suggest that fucoidan may be a potential functional food for colitis.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of intestinal microbiota transplantation (IMT) on intestinal flora and inflammatory factor levels in patients with ulcerative colitis. The results showed that IMT can improve treatment efficiency, balance intestinal microbiota, relieve symptoms, promote the restoration of intestinal mucosal barrier function, and does not increase adverse effects.

Summary: The study demonstrates that FMT has significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, which may be achieved through improvement of immune function, alleviation of inflammatory response, and promotion of gastrointestinal motility recovery.

Summary: There is a need for new therapies for ulcerative colitis, as many patients are unresponsive to available treatments. Strategies targeting dysbiosis of gut microbiota have been tested, but the effectiveness of conventional probiotics varies. New candidates for next-generation probiotics could provide more targeted treatment options.
