Inflamm-aging microRNAs may integrate signals from food and gut microbiota by modulating common signalling pathways

Human gut microbiota, which comprises an extremely diverse and complex community of microorganisms inhabiting the intestinal tract, may be associated with inflammation and age-related chronic health conditions. However, the mechanism underlying this association is only recently beginning to emerge. Transfer and modulation of gene expression by diet-derived microRNAs (miRs) in mammals might be involved in this communication. Through a...
