A high-fat diet promotes breast cancer by altering gut microbial metabolism

The findings of a recent study suggest that Desulfovibrio can drive cancer progression, paving the way for therapeutic approached that targeting the gut microbiota.

How do worms and gut microbes interact during early life?

The authors advocate for further research on worm-microbiota interactions, suggesting that new animal models could help inform strategies for improving health during early life.

Post-surgery infections are often caused by skin bacteria

The findings of a recent study may help clinicians to select more targeted antimicrobials based on where on the body the surgery is taking place or which type of bacteria…

Vitamin D boosts cancer immunity by altering gut bacteria

The findings uncover a link between vitamin D, the immune system and gut bacteria, and they suggest that vitamin D levels could be important for cancer immunity and the efficacy…

AI-powered approach helps researchers to model the infant microbiota

The findings of a recent study show that Q-net can accurately predict the long-term trajectories of gut microbes and identify patterns indicative of future cognitive deficits.

Infant gut microbiota has its own circadian rhythm

The findings of a recent study suggest that the infant gut microbiota begins to develop circadian rhythms soon after birth, with diet having minimal influence on these microbial patterns.

Gut microbes may contribute to autoimmune kidney disease

The findings of a recent study reveal how gut bacteria modify immune molecules in ways that lead to the development of IgA nephropathy.

Industrial societies may be losing gut microbes that help digest plants

The findings of a recent study suggest that Ruminococcus bacteria were more prevalent in ancient human populations and non-industrialized societies, likely due to the high dietary fiber intake.

Gut microbiota may shape a newborn’s immune system through serotonin production

The findings of a recent study suggest that the infant microbiota produces neurotransmitters that are required for the development of the immune system.

The interplay of diet and the microbiota may influence gut inflammation

The results of a recent study suggest that certain dietary changes can counteract bacterial functions that promote disease. The findings thus underscore the importance of examining microbial functions to understand…
