The Role and Therapeutic Potential of Gut Microbiota and Their Extracellular Vesicles in Neurological, Cardiovascular, and Metabolic Diseases.

Gut microbiota-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important mediators of host-microbiota communication, influencing physiological and pathological processes across multiple organ systems through gut-organ axes. These nanoscale vesicles can exert either protective or pathogenic effects depending on the...

Interkingdom microbiome physiology in colorectal cancer: barrier dysfunction, immune-metabolic signaling, and therapeutic resistance

This review synthesizes evidence linking the bacteriome, mycobiome, and phageome to colorectal carcinogenesis, immune modulation, metabolic signaling, and therapeutic response and proposes that therapeutic resistance may sometimes reflect a treatment-selected ecological state rather than the action of a single resistan...

Microbial Signals in Cancer: Dissecting Host–Microbiota–Tumor Interactions and Potential Therapeutic Strategy

Cancers develop within a host ecosystem in which kinds of factors such as gut and tumor‐resident microbiota influence the tumor microenvironment (TME) and therapeutic response. High‐throughput sequencing has revealed the presence of low‐biomass bacteria, fungi, and viruses across diverse malignancies, establishing the...
