The findings may inform strategies to modulate the gut microbiota as a way to prevent or treat neurodegeneration.

A Fusobacterium nucleatum vaccine to help protect against colorectal cancer?

Vaccines against F. nucleatum and other onco-microbes may help prevent diseases such as colorectal cancer.

Iron availability can influence microbial communities in the gut

The findings of a recent study suggest that the availability of iron can reshape the composition of the gut microbiota in irreversible ways.

The microbiota may promote sensory neuron regeneration

The findings of a recent study suggest that the microbiota can promote neuronal repair after tissue damage.

Specific gut bacteria reduce ovarian cancer progression in mice

The findings of a recent study tie the gut microbiota to immune surveillance of ovarian cancer and may inform new treatment approaches.

A mother’s gut microbes share genes with bacteria in the infant gut

A mother’s microbiota may shape the infant gut microbiota through horizontal gene transfer, in addition to the classical transmission of maternal bacteria to the infant’s gut.

Gut microbes may regulate motivation to exercise

The findings of a recent study suggest that signals derived from the gut can boost the motivation to exercise.

Gut microbes may help keep the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier intact

A recent study suggests that the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier is another barrier along the gut-brain axis that is likely influenced by the gut microbiota.
