Specific antibodies in breast milk may help to fight intestinal infections

The findings of a new research suggest that IgG in breast milk promotes immunity against intestinal pathogens and shapes the development of the gut microbiota and immune cells in early…

Microbial signature may help predict who’s more likely to develop fatty liver disease

The findings of a new research reveal the microbiota alterations during NAFLD and suggest that gut microbes can be used as an early clinical sign of the condition.

Similar gut bacteria may influence different gastrointestinal diseases

Researchers have found that some microbes involved in inflammatory conditions produced different effects based on their interaction with different host genes and through different pathways.

Towards a more ethical microbiome research

A human rights activist and a group of anthropologists and human biologists provide suggestions for more inclusive and ethical research practices in microbiome research.

How gut microbes may influence cognitive decline

Researchers have found that a metabolite released from gut bacteria contributes to cognitive decline by influencing gene expression in the brain’s resident immune cells.

How a diverse gut microbiota improves stem cell transplant outcomes

A new study (Science Translational Medicine) suggests a link between microbiota, microbial metabolites and the maintenance of specific immune cells.

Gut microbiota may modulate liver metabolism

Researchers have found that the gut microbiota could contribute to liver function through the transfer of bacterial sphingolipids to the host’s liver.

Probiotics may help to form a mature microbiota in premature babies

A new clinical trial indicates that Bifidobacterium strains can accelerate microbiota maturation, with positive immunological effects in premature babies.

Human milk sugar and probiotic blend may help manipulate the gut microbiota

New research suggests that a combination of human milk-derived sugars and the probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis could help manipulate the gut microbiota in ways that may offer therapeutic benefits.

Do maternal vaginal fluids improve the health of babies born by C-section?

If maternal-child microbial seeding improves health outcomes, it may be a public health strategy that could reduce the prevalence of C-section-associated diseases.
