The findings of a recent study suggest that Ruminococcus bacteria were more prevalent in ancient human populations and non-industrialized societies, likely due to the high dietary fiber intake.
Two weeks of dietary intervention are sufficient to influence host immunity, metabolism and gut microbiota composition.
Although a causative relationship between obesity and gut microbes remains unclear, microbiota-based treatments may help to combat obesity.
The findings of a recent study suggest that the interplay between the microbiota, the gut and the brain drives binge-eating disorders.
Together with Professor Lorenzo Morelli we focused on the significant role of diet and the microbiome in terms of health benefits, food production, and agri-industry systems.
Diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota confer protection against respiratory infections by regulating the development of key components of the immune system.
The findings of a new study suggest that providing at-risk populations with NOD2 ligands or probiotic bacteria that release high levels of NOD2-activating molecules may help to treat undernutrition.
Specific gut bacteria and/or metabolites could be responsible for the differential responses to weight management.
The findings of a new study indicate that gut commensals may contribute to obesity through the overproduction of microbe-derived lipids.
The findings of a recent study may inform dietary interventions to help protect people against type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.
