Intestinal epithelial cell metabolism at the interface of microbial dysbiosis and tissue injury

Eva Rath et al.

Summary: The intestinal epithelium, as the most regenerative tissue in the human body, is closely associated with the microbial milieu of the microbiome and immune cells in terms of its functions and regeneration. Mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic reprogramming of epithelial cells may affect the regenerative capacity of intestinal tissue, leading to the development of inflammatory bowel disease.

Can probiotic or prebiotic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) serve as alternatives to in-feed antibiotics for healthy or disease-challenged broiler chickens?: a review

E. U. Ahiwe et al.

Summary: The ban on antibiotics in broiler chicken feed, along with increasing consumer demand for antibiotics-free poultry products, has led to a growing interest in the use of yeast as an alternative. Probiotic and prebiotic yeast products have shown potential to replace antibiotics, but further testing is needed to ensure consistency. Proper use of yeast products alongside good husbandry practices could improve productivity and move towards antibiotic-free meat production globally.
