Lactobacilli Mitigate Gut Inflammation by Modulating T-Helper/T-Regulatory Cells and Suppressing Signaling Pathways in Food-Derived Models - Md. F. Kulyar; Syed Umair Ali Shah Naqvi; Eiva Bernotiene; Muhammad Akhtar (Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins, 2026)
Intestinal inflammation disrupts epithelial integrity, fuels antibiotic resistance, and underlies disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease. Lactobacillus species, established inhabitants of traditional and contemporary fermented foods, are increasingly viewed as bioactive cultures that shape host immunity and support formulation of next-generation functional foods. This review integrates multidisciplinary evidence from in vitro studies, animal models, human observations, and multi omics datasets to clarify how dietary or probiotic Lactobacillus strains alleviate gut inflammation. Particular attention is given to strain specific effects on T-helper/T-regulatory cell balance, suppression of TLR4-MyD88, NF-κB, MAPK, and NLRP3 signaling cascades, and the influence of food matrices, microencapsulation, dosage, and processing parameters on bacterial viability and efficacy, which are the factors central to food industry application. Across models, Lactobacillus consistently down regulates pro-inflammatory Th1/Th17 responses, while expanding forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3⁺) T reg, leading to reduced TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and elevated IL-10 and TGF-β. Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and indole metabolites derived from fermentation further dampen NF-κB activity and reinforce epithelial barrier function. Food matrix studies show that dairy and cereal formulations enhance probiotic survival, whereas acidic beverages often require micro encapsulation; a daily intake of ~ 10 10 CFU appears both effective and safe. Taken together, these insights position Lactobacillus as a scientifically robust, industry ready tool for developing anti-inflammatory foods, prioritizing future work for well-designed human feeding trials that couple multi-omics read outs and optimizing strain matrix combinations.

Bridging the gap for advancing microplastic research and monitoring in the Indonesian marine and coastal environments - Muhammad Reza Cordova; Zheng Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
As the world’s largest archipelagic state, Indonesia is increasingly exposed to microplastic contamination across its aquatic environments. This review synthesizes evidence from 497 publications reporting microplastic occurrence in environmental matrices across the Indonesian archipelago, including freshwater and marine waters, sediments, and aquatic biota. The analysis examines reported abundance levels, dominant polymer types, spatial patterns of contamination, and methodological approaches used in microplastic research conducted in Indonesia. The literature reveals a pronounced geographic imbalance in research coverage. More than 60% of studies were conducted in western Indonesia, with a strong concentration on Java Island, whereas large parts of eastern Indonesia remain poorly documented. Reported concentrations vary widely among environmental matrices and sampling designs, reflecting differences in both environmental conditions and analytical practices. Notably, studies that did not apply rigorous quality assurance procedures or confirm polymer composition using spectroscopic techniques tended to report markedly higher concentrations, suggesting that methodological limitations may contribute to inflated contamination estimates. To place these observations into a comparable framework, risk band thresholds were derived from the abundance dataset using a quantile-based statistical approach. Overall, this review provides an integrated baseline of microplastic contamination across Indonesian environments and identifies critical geographic and methodological gaps that should guide future monitoring strategies and environmental risk assessments.

Review of risk analysis and management practices for urban water utilities’ sustainability and resilience - Muhammad Fahim Aslam; Farhad Jazaei; Peyman Babakhani; Brian Waldron; Rouzbeh Nazari (Water Resources Management, 2026)
Urban water utilities (UWU) face escalating challenges from rapid urbanization, climate change, aging infrastructure, and institutional fragmentation. This review synthesizes evidence from 62 peer-reviewed studies to critically examine how risk analysis and management are conceptualized and applied in UWU across diverse geographies and economic settings. Through thematic dimensions on geospatial factors, including climate, terrain, population density, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and water governance structures, along with institutional data, the study employs descriptive patterns, statistical analysis, and cross-regional comparison to explore the distribution and drivers of water risks in UWU. Email correspondence with corresponding authors was conducted to evaluate the implementation status of proposed recommendations and the translation of research findings into practice. The risks are categorized into two types: natural and anthropogenic. The latter includes operational, health and safety, financial, and socio-political risks. The paper evaluates six major risk analysis methodological categories, which vary in terms of data requirements and suitability for different types of risk. These approaches provide valuable interpretations, but many applications represent one issue, often neglecting cascading effects and dynamic interdependencies between risk domains. The review identifies critical research and practice gaps and emphasizes the need for integrated and adaptive risk governance that bridges academic knowledge and utility practice to enhance the resilience of UWU.

Microbial consortia and bioinoculant strategies for enhancing crop salt tolerance and restoring fertility in salt-degraded soils - Cengiz Kaya; Muhammad Ashraf; Sergey Shabala (Plant and Soil, 2026)
Background Soil salinity is a major constraint to global agriculture, impairing ionic balance, nutrient acquisition, and water relations. This imposes significant economic penalties and threatens the sustainability of agricultural production systems. Aims This review synthesizes advances across multiple microbial groups, including plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), endophytes, extremophiles, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), cyanobacteria, and microalgae, to evaluate their role in rehabilitating salt-affected soils and strengthening crop resilience. Methods We analyzed recent evidence on the functional diversity of plant-associated microorganisms, focusing on the comparative efficacy of single versus multi-strain and cross-kingdom consortia. The review further examines case studies on synergistic approaches (e.g., AMF–cyanobacteria, microalgae–bacteria) and translational innovations such as nanocarrier encapsulation and AI-guided selection. Results Evidence indicates that microbial consortia outperform single inoculants by stabilizing rhizosphere microbiomes, enhancing nutrient cycling, and coordinating stress signaling. Specifically, synergistic applications reinforce redox regulation, ionic homeostasis, and pathogen defense under saline conditions. Furthermore, emerging bioformulation technologies and AI tools are shown to accelerate the effective application of these solutions in saline–alkali soils. Conclusions Integrating ecological mechanisms with biotechnological advances provides a roadmap for microbiome-informed precision agriculture. This review emphasizes that low-input and environmentally restorative strategies are essential for developing resilient cropping systems under increasing salinity pressures.
