How gut microbes talk to the brain

New research suggests that hypothalamic neurons use muropeptides as a measure of food intake or of imbalances in the gut microbiota.

Gut microbes may protect from hormone-induced bone death

New research suggests that the gut microbiota protects the femoral head through the production of extracellular vesicles.

Gut microbe could boost growth in malnourished infants

New research suggests that B. infantis can be used to treat children with acute malnutrition.

A high fat diet can disrupt gut microbial oscillations, leading to metabolic problems

New research suggests that restoring the gut microbiota’s capacity to sense dietary signals mediated by specific host factors may improve metabolic problems.

Some gut-dwelling viruses may contribute to inflammatory bowel disease

The virome might be used in therapeutic approaches: eliminating or replacing disease-driving intestinal viruses with health-promoting viruses may be beneficial for people with IBD.

Gut microbiota might predict risk of liver diseases

Researchers found that models of conventional risk factors and data on the gut microbiota improved the prediction of liver diseases

Bacteria in tumors may help cancer to metastasize

New research indicates that the tumor-resident microbiota can promote the formation of metastases as well as the survival of cancer cells during tumor progression.

Gut microbiota composition varies extensively within people

By analyzing stool samples from dozens of people in Sweden, researchers have found that the microbiota isn’t stable in adulthood.

Gut bacteria may influence the levels of cardiometabolic risk marker

Researchers have identified 10 species whose abundance was linked to blood levels of TMAO, a metabolite associated with cardiovascular diseases

Microbial cooperation helps fungal pathogens to tolerate drugs

Researchers have found that cooperation among microbial cells may be one of causes of this drug tolerance.
