Article Abstract
Animal communication within a community is essential for their survival and reproduction. This phenomenon is not restricted to animals but is also prevalent in prokaryotes, which employ quorum sensing (QS) mechanisms for communication and behavior. Despite their importance, cell-cell communication in prokaryotes has not been cataloged in detail. Therefore, we developed a comprehensive map of cell-cell microbial communication by analyzing 15,297 prokaryotic genomes, thereby expanding the scope of the AI-2 signal in the microbiome. We showed that LsrB receptors are found in 15 bacterial phyla and can regulate the expression of genes involved in the biosynthesis of siderophore group nonribosomal peptides and biofilm formation via LsrB in . We also conducted an international prospective study of microbial communication models across distinct habitats. These findings highlight the importance of microbial communication and will enable comprehensive studies of large-scale microbial communities, greatly expanding our understanding of AI-2 in the microbial consortium.

There is a growing body of evidence that the interaction between various microbial organisms and the human host can affect various physical and even mental health conditions. Bidirectional communication occurs between the brain and the gut microbiome, referred to as the brain-gut-microbiome axis. During aging, changes occur to the gut microbiome due to various events and factors such as the mode of delivery at birth, exposure to medications (e.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by the core symptoms of impaired social communication and stereotyped behaviors, is strongly associated with dysregulated microbiota-gut-brain axis. Emerging evidence suggests that , which showed reduced abundance in ASD cohorts, holds therapeutic potential, though its interaction with host remain unexplored. Here, we investigated the efficacy and molecular basis of 4P-15 (4P-15) in BTBR /J (BTBR) mice, an idiopathic ASD mouse model.

The gut microbiota, comprising trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, exists in symbiosis with the host. As the largest microbial ecosystem in the human body. The gut microbiota not only shapes the homeostasis of the intestinal microenvironment through gut-derived metabolites but also exerts regulatory effects on the functions of diverse tissues and organs throughout the body via the intricate "gut-distal organ axis" mechanism.

Dynamic actin filament remodeling is crucial for a plethora of fundamental cell biological processes, ranging from cell division and migration to cell communication, intracellular trafficking, or tissue development. Cytochalasin B (CB) and D (CD) are fungal secondary metabolites frequently used for interference with such processes. Although they are generally assumed to block actin filament polymerization at their rapidly growing barbed ends and compete with regulators at these sites, precise molecular understanding of their effects in dynamic actin structures requires further study.

The gut-liver axis constitutes a bidirectional communication network that integrates the ecological microenvironment, metabolism, and immune signals between the gut and liver systems. Currently, there is compelling evidence indicating that the overall dysfunction of the gut-liver axis is a pivotal driver in the pathogenesis of advanced liver diseases. This review focuses on the latest research progress regarding various components of the intestinal barrier and how these components contribute to the onset and progression of cirrhosis and its complications.
