Gut microbiota modulates depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic ethanol exposure through short-chain fatty acids by Hui Shen, Chaoxu Zhang, Qian Zhang, Qing Lv, Hao Liu, Huiya Yuan, Changliang Wang, Fanyue Meng, Yufu Guo, Jiaxin Pei, Chenyang Yu, Jinming Tie, Xiaohuan Chen, Hao Yu, Guohua Zhang, Xiaolong Wang

“…Conclusion SCFAs not only mitigate damage to intestinal structure and function but also alleviate various lesions in the central nervous system, such as neuroinflammation, and reduce anxiety and depression-like behaviors, which were triggered by transplantation with fecal microbiota that had been affected by chronic ethanol exposure, adding more support that SCFAs serve as a bridge between the gut and the brain.…”

Reduction of elevated Gli3 does not alter the progression of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease by Lauren G. Russell, Maria Kolatsi‐Joannou, Laura Wilson, Jennifer C. Chandler, Nuria Perretta Tejedor, Georgie Stagg, Karen L. Price, Christopher J. Rowan, Tessa Crompton, Norman D. Rosenblum, Paul J. D. Winyard, David A. Long

“…Abstract Polycystic kidney diseases (PKD) are genetic disorders which disrupt kidney architecture and function. Autosomal recessive PKD (ARPKD) is a rare form of PKD, caused by mutations in PKHD1, and clinically more severe than the more common autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD). …”
