Babies receive microbes from their mothers through multiple routes

The findings of a new study suggest that mothers transmit bacteria to their infants through multiple routes — a process that ensures that babies receive essential microbes.

A gut microbe can promote growth in mice

The findings of a new study suggest that providing at-risk populations with NOD2 ligands or probiotic bacteria that release high levels of NOD2-activating molecules may help to treat undernutrition.

Microbiota-derived metabolite may help combat pancreatic cancer

The findings of a new study suggest that the microbial metabolite 3-IAA could help to treat PDAC.

Mouth bacteria may trigger rheumatoid arthritis flare-ups

The findings of a new study suggest that periodontal disease may contribute to rheumatoid arthritis by triggering specific immune responses.

Diet and environment drive the diversity of the infant gut virome

The findings of a new study suggest that infants acquire their gut virome from their diet and environment rather than from their mothers.

Pregnancy-induced changes to the gut microbiota may exacerbate inflammation

The findings of a new study reveal a microbe-immune axis that is disrupted in pregnant animals, suggesting potential therapeutic approaches for pregnancy-associated sepsis.

Maternal immune cells influence a newborn’s lung immunity through the microbiota

The findings of a new study suggest that a newborn’s lung immunity is influenced by the interplay between maternal γδ T cells, the gut microbiota and microbial-derived SCFAs.

The maturation of gut fungal communities is associated with a baby’s body mass index

The findings of a new study suggest that mycobiome maturation and infant growth trajectories are linked.

Microbiota signature linked to chronic fatigue syndrome

The findings of two recent studies published in Cell Host & Microbe may help to develop new diagnostic tools and better animal models of ME/CFS.

New analysis refutes the existence of a fetal microbiota

The findings of a new study support the ‘sterile womb’ hypothesis and may help scientists avoid pitfalls of contamination in the analysis of samples where microbes are expected to be…
