Neuroscience
A study published in Nature suggests that the gut microbiota could help understand conditions such as chronic anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Scientific research
To survive in the human gut, bacteria have evolved genes that help them to fight rival microbes, a new study published in Nature shows.
Scientific research
Researchers at Stanford University reviewed the evidence that links industrial lifestyle to changes in the microbiota and propose approaches to preserve health.
Immunology, Pediatrics
Early-life exposure to defined microbial communities triggers the development of specific immune cells and influences the abundance of these cells in the skin.
Neuroscience
Our gut microbiota might affect how well and for how long we sleep, according to a new study. The findings may lead to new ways to improve sleep.
Infectiology, Nutrition
A low-fiber, high-fat diet promotes Salmonella gut colonization by increasing the level of bile salts, according to a recent study.
Oncology
Certain fungi move from the gut to the pancreas, where they can trigger pancreatic cancer growth, according to a new study published in Nature.
Nutrition
The type of dietary flavonoids we consume could influence the gut microbiota, according to a new study published in mBio.
Infectiology
Researchers have found an antimicrobial molecule produced by the gut microbiota that can fight multidrug-resistant bacteria.
Gynecology
Transplanting vaginal fluids from one woman to another could restore the bacterial microbiota and help treat severe cases of a common vaginal inflammation.
