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.

Viral signature may signal deadly gut disease in premature babies

New research highlights how microbial signatures could be used to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis, leading to faster diagnosis.

A person’s genetics can shape gut microbiota functions

New research provides new insights into host-microbiota genetic interactions, shedding light on the role of human genetics on gut microbes.

Dietary fibers can have different effects on human health

A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe highlights the association of fibers with the microbiota.

Imbalances in gut microbes linked to recurrent urinary tract infections

Recurrent UTIs are in part caused by alterations of the gut microbiota and different immune response to bacterial bladder colonization.
