Summary: The human gut is a host for trillions of microorganisms known as the gut microbiota, and its composition can be influenced by various factors, particularly diet and nutrition. A diet rich in phytoestrogens can alter the gut microbiota composition. Phytoestrogens have shown potential in treating different types of cancers, such as breast cancer in women, due to their ability to decrease estrogen levels. This review summarizes recent findings on the interaction between phytoestrogens and gut microbiota and discusses their potential future application in breast cancer treatment.

Summary: The study of insect-associated microbial communities is crucial in agriculture due to the role insects play as pests. Recent focus on insect gut microbiome highlights their potential in biotechnology and biomedicine, with functional approaches providing insights into their metabolic capabilities. Understanding these microbial communities is essential for their exploitation and future perspectives in this field.

Summary: This study investigated the differential lipid metabolism response to personalized nutrition (PN) intervention associated with FTO gene polymorphisms, the changes in gut microbiota caused by the intervention, and the associations between gut microbiota and lipid metabolism outcomes. The results showed that subjects with the risk genotype of FTO had better response to nutrition intervention, and PN intervention showed better improvement in anthropometric parameters and blood lipids than the control. Gut microbiota may be involved in modulating differential lipid metabolism responses to intervention in subjects with different genotypes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the digestion of myoglobin diet in vitro and its relationship with gut microbiota and intestinal barrier. The in vitro study showed that myoglobin diets had a higher alpha-helix content and lower digestibility. The results from feeding C57BL/6J mice with different levels of myoglobin in the diet for 3 and 8 weeks revealed that increasing myoglobin content led to a significant increase in the relative abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila. Additionally, the content of short chain fatty acids exhibited a trend of increase and then decrease as myoglobin content increased at 3 weeks. A low-myoglobin diet upregulated the gene expression related to colonic mucin and tight junction proteins by increasing the proportion of beneficial microbiota, while a high-myoglobin diet had adverse effects.

Summary: Maternal environment, including nutrition and microbiota, plays a critical role in determining the offspring's risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes. The form of iron added to the maternal diet can influence the establishment of offspring's gut microbiota. Male offspring from heme-enriched-fed mothers showed higher oxidative stress markers, impaired insulin secretion, and gut barrier defects, which may be predictive of diabetes development.

Summary: This study found that vitamin B12 supplementation can alter the activities of certain microbial populations in the gut, promoting the colonization of a specific pathogen (Citrobacter rodentium) in mice. These changes were associated with alterations in markers of gut inflammation. The results suggest that excessive B12 supplementation may have consequences on microbial competition/sharing in the gut.

Summary: Human responses to the same diets vary due to complex diet-host-microbiota interactions. Recent advances show that quantifying this interaction could lead to personalized nutrition strategies for improving individual health. The gut microbiome, compared to host related factors, can be easily modulated by dietary exposures and plays a crucial role in human health. However, limitations in processing and analyzing 'big-data' on the human microbiome hinder the translation of diet-host-microbiota interactions into tools for personalized health improvement. This review aims to summarize recent advances in understanding diet-host-microbiota interactions to aid in the development of personalized nutrition strategies.

Summary: Perinatal depression, a common mood disorder in pregnant and postpartum women, is associated with changes in hormones and gut microbiota. Nutrition and dietary interventions have been shown to alleviate maternal depression, and probiotics have the potential to modulate the development of perinatal mood disorders through regulating microbiota. However, more human evidence is needed.

Summary: This study used bibliometrics to analyze the scientific literature on the relationship between gut microbiota and chronic painful conditions, revealing that only 122 papers discussed how nutritional interventions can modulate this link. The findings enrich the evidence in the field of microbiota medicine and contribute to the development of clinical medicine.

Summary: Cell survival, proliferation, and function require energy from different metabolic pathways. Immune cells adapt their energy production to specific functions, affected by different metabolic pathways. Diet composition influences immune responses, particularly in the gut, where gut microbiota metabolites impact immune cell activity.

Summary: This review paper provides a recent perspective on the gut microbiome of newborn puppies. It suggests that microbial colonization of newborns begins at birth and can be influenced by various factors such as parturition, maternal microbiota, and diet. The maternal microbiota and diet are particularly important for the development and growth of puppies' gut microbiota.

Summary: Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) treatment can improve gut microbiome and bile acid (BA) metabolism of patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The study involved 27 newly diagnosed pediatric CD patients and 27 healthy controls. The findings suggest that EEN treatment can restore GM structure and secondary BA metabolism, and the abundance of Firmicutes bacteria and the balance of primary and secondary BAs are associated with CD severity and mucosal inflammation.

Summary: Many plant sap-feeding insects act as vectors for plant-pathogenic bacteria, some of which were originally insect endosymbionts that evolved the ability to survive in plants. Certain bacteria can be transmitted from infected plants to daughter plants through stolons, causing disease.

Summary: This study provides a comparative analysis of the genome sequences of a facultative symbiotic bacterium found in terrestrial isopods. The bacterium has a streamlined genome and appears to scavenge nutrients from its nutrient-rich environment. It also possesses different bacterial secretion systems compared to related bacteria associated with protists, suggesting different host-symbiont interactions.
