Across economies and societies, the distributional consequences of the pandemic have been uneven. Among groups living in vulnerable conditions, the pandemic substantially magnified the inequality gaps, with possible negative implications for these individuals' long-term physical, socioeconomic, and mental wellbeing.

There is growing evidence of strong associations between the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dysbiotic oral and gut microbiota. Recent studies demonstrated that isoorientin (ISO) is anti-inflammatory and alleviates markers of AD, which were hypothesized to be mediated by the oral and gut microbiota. This paper studied the effects of oral administration of ISO on AD-related markers and the oral and gut microbiota in mice and concluded that the microbiota-gut-brain axis is a potential mechanism by which ISO reduces AD-related markers in amyloid precursor protein/presenilin-1 mice mice.
