Immunology
A group of cell-wall sugar molecules stimulate the production of pTreg cells, which reduce inflammation and prevent autoimmunity.
Gastroenterology, Infectiology
A gut dysbiosis leads to an increase in proline, which gives C. difficile a competitive advantage and favors the development of the infection.
Gastroenterology
Exosome-like nanoparticles derived from plants contain RNAs that regulate gut microbiota composition and impact on the gut barrier function.
Oncology
The microbiota of a cancerous pancreas is different and larger than that of a non-cancerous pancreas, according to a study published in Cancer Discovery.
Gastroenterology
Migrating to a western country alters the intestinal microbiome and provides a key to understanding metabolic diseases such as obesity.
Infectiology
The gut microbiota composition and function changes rapidly in response to pathogens such as Salmonella and Candida, a new study has found.
Pediatrics
According to a study published on Nature, the intestinal microbiota of infants make-up changes over time in 3 phases: 3-14 months, 15-30 months and 31-46 months.
Neuroscience
GDP-L-fucose synthase, a protein produced by bacteria often found in the gut of people with MS, triggers an autoimmune response from T-cells in MS patients.
Gynecology
The vaginal microbiota of women who delivered prematurely has increased richness and diversity and a higher prevalence of Mollicutes bacteria.
Allergology
The recent increase of food allergies and intolerances is likely linked to the gut microbiota. A. Caminero et al tried to give an explaination.
