How gut bacteria influence inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis

The results of a recent study suggest that P. distasonis and glycitein help regulate inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

The role of gut microbes in aging

Understanding how gut microbes influence biological processes related to aging may inform interventions aimed at optimizing the microbiota to promote longevity.

Centenarians have a youthful gut microbiota that may help support longevity

The findings suggest that longevity is associated with a specific microbiota signature that may have positive effects on older adults’ health by counteracting senescence or chronic diseases that generally accompany…

The findings of a recent study reveal that P. distasonis and its metabolites could be promising candidates for treating RA.

Some gut bacteria may trigger autoimmunity in rheumatoid arthritis

The findings of a recent study suggest that a specific strain of Subdoligranulum can drive the production of autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis.

Gut bacteria could influence healthy aging

Microbiota changes in advanced age may not simply be diagnostic of healthy aging, but they could also contribute to health as people become older.

Gut microbe could protect against Parkinson’s, study in worms shows

A new study published in Cell Reports suggests that a common gut microbe could slow—and even reverse—the build-up of a protein associated with Parkinson's.

Healthy ageing: is Christensenella the cornerstone of the gut microbiota?

Philippe Langella, Research Director at INRA, explains how Christensenella could help establish an eubiotic gut microbiota in the elderly.

Patrizia Brigidi: ‘We demonstrated specific profiles that link longevity and gut microbiota’

An Italian study carried out at the University of Bologna investigated the relationship between longevity and the microbiota. We discussed it with Professor Patrizia Brigidi, coordinator of the project.
