Researchers have found that disrupting the microbiota-gut axis by altering circadian rhythms or diet can drive Crohn-like inflammation of the intestine in mice.
Neuroscience
A gut microbiota-modulated neural pathway can regulate blood sugar independently from the central nervous system, a new study pubblished in Science claims.

Neuroscience
A new study published in Nature found that a specific combination of gut microbes can worsen the symptoms of multiple sclerosis in mice.
Immunology
The gut microbiota can shape our antibodies before we encounter a disease-causing microbe, a new study published in Nature has found.
Pediatrics
Researchers have found that giving preterm babies probiotics can help to improve the gut microbiota and displace harmful bacteria.
Endocrinology
A new study suggests that 24-hour changes in the gut microbiota could help to predict who’s at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
