About 11% of microorganisms that colonize the infant gut persist during the first year of life, and many of them come from the infants’ mothers. A new study published in…
Gastroenterology
Medications can accumulate in gut microbes, altering the activity of bacteria and potentially reducing the effectiveness of the drugs. A new study published in Nature claims.
Neuroscience, Pediatrics
New therapeutic approaches that target the gut-microbiota-immune-brain axis could help to protect preterm infants from brain injury. A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe claims.
Scientific research
A recent study published in Current Biology highlights how microbiotas from the past could be used to monitor environmental changes and it provides an example for how policies to control…
Nutrition, Oncology
The findings of a recent study published in Science Advances suggest that a high-salt diet modulates the gut microbiota in ways that boost tumor immunity.
Gastroenterology
The type of microbiome that repopulates the gut after antibiotics has the potential to reprogram the mammalian immune system with long-lasting effects including on longevity. A new study published in…
Gastroenterology, Oncology
Chemotherapy treatment and intestinal diseases can alter the process of programmed cell death, which can lead to gastrointestinal tract's infections.
Neuroscience
Specific changes in the gut microbiota could contribute to disruptions in brain physiology and cognitive behavior. This process leads to cognitive impairment. A new study published in Cell Host &…
Gastroenterology
The ability to transfer resistance to infection suggests that the microbiota could be harnessed for therapeutic treatments. A new study published in Cell Reports claims.
Endocrinology
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe suggests that the transfer of gut microbes from a mother to her offsprin could reduce the risk of developing type 1…
