Summary: The large surfaces of gastrointestinal organs are adapted to their tasks of nutritional uptake and defense, with immune cells within the mucosa regulating a balance to prevent inflammation. An increase in GI disorders in Western societies is linked to dietary changes and gut microbiome imbalance, leading to chronic inflammation. Understanding the mechanisms of immuno-nutrition and the impact of dietary compounds on gut immune homeostasis is essential for disease prevention and treatment.

Summary: The intestinal barrier is a multi-layered structure that regulates nutrient absorption and prevents entry of harmful microbes and antigens. Barrier dysfunction can lead to increased incidence of allergic, autoimmune, and metabolic diseases. Helminths, residing in the intestines, induce changes in the intestinal barrier that may prevent or treat these diseases. This review examines the effect of helminths on intestinal barrier function and explores their potential health benefits.

Summary: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released by Akkermansia muciniphila can restore gut microbiota balance, stimulate mucosal immunoglobulin A response, and maintain intestinal barrier integrity by entering intestinal epithelial cells. Transplanting gut microbiota-derived OMVs can alleviate colitis and enhance anti-PD-1 therapy against colorectal cancer. This study highlights the important role of gut microbiota-derived OMVs in intestinal ecology and provides a new target for disease intervention and treatment.

Summary: Chemotherapy damages the intestinal barrier by killing gut stem cells, leading to increased bacterial translocation and altered permeability. The mucus layer and epithelium are also affected by chemotherapy, making the barrier more permeable. However, the exact sequence of events and contributions of different barrier components are still unclear, and further research is needed to understand the development of chemotherapy-induced gut toxicity.

Summary: Antarctic camps, with their isolated, confined, and extreme (ICE) conditions, can affect the microbiome and inflammatory responses. A 7-week expedition to Nelson Island resulted in fluctuations in the microbiome, a reduction in disease-associated microbes, and changes in inflammation markers. These findings suggest that Antarctic environments and behaviors play a role in modulating oral microbiome and inflammation.
