How some gut microbes can promote obesity

The findings of a new study indicate that gut commensals may contribute to obesity through the overproduction of microbe-derived lipids.

Microbial signature may help identify women at risk for gestational diabetes

The findings of a new study suggest that biomarkers such as the gut microbiota composition may help develop diagnostics and therapeutic approaches for gestational diabetes.

How some gut bacteria avoid immune surveillance

The immune system tolerates flagellins of commensal bacteria while mounting an immune response against flagellins produced by pathogens.
