Cover Story: Probiotics are increasingly popular in the dietary supplement market, offering various health benefits. They stabilize the gut microbiota, alleviate gastrointestinal issues like irritable bowel syndrome and modulate the immune system. The muco-microbic layer in the intestine houses microbiota and facilitates communication with epithelial cells, impacting host health. Dysbiosis disrupts this balance, leading to conditions like leaky gut and associated inflammatory diseases. Metabolites produced by gut flora, including tryptophan, influence physiological functions and neurological pathways. This study focused on the TDO-2 pathway and suggests that probiotics protect against stress, restore epithelial barriers, and activate tryptophan pathways via extracellular vesicles, providing evidence for the gut–brain axis mediation by nanovesicles influencing central nervous system function.
