Overview

Jiro Nakayama is affiliated with Kyushu University in Japan and has contributed extensively to the fields of medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their research primarily focuses on gut microbiota and health, with significant engagement in probiotics and fermented foods, diet and metabolism studies, microbial metabolites in food biotechnology, Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens research, nutritional studies and diet, and food composition and properties.

Their recent publications include studies with diverse topics reflecting the gut microbiome, its relation to health conditions, and fermentation processes. Notable recent papers are:

  • "Gut dysbiosis associated with clinical prognosis of patients with primary biliary cholangitis" (2020) published in Hepatology Research
  • "Age-related changes in the gut microbiota and the core gut microbiome of healthy Thai humans" (2020) published in 3 Biotech
  • "Mucosa-associated gut microbiota reflects clinical course of ulcerative colitis" (2021) published in Scientific Reports
  • "Diversity and dynamics of sourdough lactic acid bacteriota created by a slow food fermentation system" (2021) published in Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering
  • "Pathobiont-responsive Th17 cells in gut-mouth axis provoke inflammatory oral disease and are modulated by intestinal microbiome" (2022) published in Cell Reports

Jiro Nakayama frequently collaborates with several researchers, including Takeshi Zendo and Phatthanaphong Therdtatha, each with nine joint works, followed by Riko Mishima with seven collaborations. Additional regular coauthors include Rie Momoda and Yoshihiro Ogawa, both contributing to multiple projects alongside Nakayama.

Publication venues that feature Nakayama's work repeatedly include Bioscience of Microbiota Food and Health, Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, Microorganisms, Microbiology Spectrum, and Journal of Gastroenterology.
