Emerging laboratory entities raise numerous ethical issues, one of which is their correct labelling. This article reviews the debate over naming stem cell cultures that reproduce in vitro the major developmental processes of the human embryo. Numerous labels have been proposed to refer to these entities, including embryo models, synthetic or artificial embryos, and embryoids, among others. We argue that each of these names goes with assumptions about the nature and potential of the entities they intend to designate. By listing the main terms used in the literature and presenting their advantages and disadvantages, we hope to unfold these assumptions and the ethical issues they entail.

The advent of the modern diet - characterized by increased consumption of ultra-processed foods rich in saturated fats and simple sugars, but deficient in fiber and micronutrients - has profoundly altered the biodiversity of the intestinal microbiota. This dysbiosis disrupts the intricate metabolic, immune, and nutritional interactions between the host and its microbiota, leading to significant downstream impacts on human health. Dietary imbalances result in reduced production of beneficial microbial metabolites, increased intestinal permeability, chronic inflammation, and heightened risks of obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory diseases. Conversely, diversified diets rich in fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, and plant-based proteins support a resilient and diverse microbial ecosystem that enhances gut barrier function, immunity, and the synthesis of protective compounds. A deeper understanding of these complex host-microbiota-nutrition interactions can pave the way for preventive and therapeutic strategies targeting the microbiome to promote human health.
