Immunology, Scientific research
A recent study analyzed microbial colonization in people with RAG deficiency to shed light on the effects of secondary immunodeficiencies.
Gastroenterology
The findings of a recent study suggest that a mixture of B. infantis and HMOs can modulate the gut microbiota in adults.
Gastroenterology
The findings of a recent study suggest that resistant-starch supplements can alter the gut microbiota in ways that alleviate NAFLD.
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
Microbial differences may help to identify targets that could be modulated to mitigate health inequities.
Dentistry
The findings suggest that lysine lactylation contributes to metabolic regulation in bacteria and that GNAT13 may limit sucrose-driven biofilm formation.
Gastroenterology, Immunology
This study demonstrated fundamental mechanisms through which A. muciniphila and L. plantarum modify the gut microbiota and control immune responses in the SLE mouse model.
Pneumology
The findings suggest that the interplay between the respiratory tract microbiota, the levels of bacterial pathogens and specific clinical interventions is a key factor in determining the outcome of bacterial…
Oncology
The findings of a recent study suggest that the composition of the mouth microbiota can be used to predict the recurrence of oral cancer.
Gastroenterology
The findings of a recent study suggest that (S)-IBD3540 is a promising approach for treating IBD in people.
Dermatology
The findings reveal an important mechanism through which commensal microbes influence skin’s health. The results may also help to inform treatments for people with skin conditions.
