New research in mice suggests that two MACs, L-arabinose and sucrose, have specific effects on gut microbes that may prevent diet-induced obesity.
Gastroenterology, Immunology
The findings of a new research show that gut bacteria can become harmful over time by gaining the ability to escape the intestine and persist in other organs where they…
Gastroenterology, Pneumology
The findings of a new research suggest that changes in the microbial composition of people with COVID-19 could be used as a biomarker of invasion of lung pathogens and dysbiosis…
Immunology
The findings of a new research may inform strategies for treating intestinal diseases by targeting pathogens without killing beneficial gut bacteria.
Scientific research
Researchers at Harvard Medical School propose to “rejuvenate” a person’s microbiota by collecting stool samples for future treatment of diseases that could be managed with fecal microbial transplantation (FMT).
Immunology
The findings of a recent study suggest that the production of inositol lipids is common in Bacteroidetes and other gut-associated bacteria, and it may be a means of cross-kingdom communication.
Dermatology, Scientific research
The findings of a recent study suggest that dengue and Zika viruses are able to change their host’s odor by altering the skin microbiota.
Scientific research
New research offers insights into how human gut bacteria recognize sulfated glycans. The findings could help to develop interventions for diseases where sulfated glycan metabolism is altered.
Pediatrics
New research shows that microbiota diversity appears early in infants from nonindustrial populations and could be traced back to their mothers as well as to the local environment.
Neuroscience
The findings of a small clinical trial suggest that probiotic treatment could be used in combination with antidepressant medication to treat clinical depression.
