Lifestyle transition from rural to urban setting changes the gut bacterial profile in an ethnic community of northeast India

This study examines how urban migration affects the gut microbiome of the Mishing ethnic community in northeast India, finding changes in microbial diversity and functional profiles linked to dietary shifts.

Snake venom-inspired novel peptides protect Caenorhabditis elegans against paraquat induced Parkinson's pathology

The paper identifies two novel peptides that protect C. elegans from paraquat-induced Parkinson's-like pathology by inhibiting reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial damage, and alpha-synuclein aggregation.

Heat-killed probiotic Levilactobacillus brevis MKAK9 and its exopolysaccharide promote longevity by modulating aging hallmarks and enhancing immune responses in Caenorhabditis elegans

This study shows that heat-killed probiotic Levilactobacillus brevis MKAK9 and its exopolysaccharide extend C. elegans lifespan by improving proteostasis and immune responses through modulation of insulin-like signaling, autophagy-lysosome pathway, and antioxidant defenses.

Exploring the probiotic potential, antioxidant capacity, and healthy aging based on whole genome analysis of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LPJBC5 isolated from fermented milk product

The paper reports the whole genome sequence of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LPJBC5, identifies probiotic and longevity-related genes, and suggests its potential as a probiotic candidate.
