Scientific research
Gastroenterology, Scientific research
The findings of a recent study suggest that engineered native gut bacteria could be employed to help treat certain diseases such as diabetes.
Scientific research
The results of a new research done in mice suggest that gut bacteria can regulate host physiology by metabolizing vitamin A.
Scientific research
Researchers at Harvard Medical School propose to “rejuvenate” a person’s microbiota by collecting stool samples for future treatment of diseases that could be managed with fecal microbial transplantation (FMT).
Dermatology, Scientific research
The findings of a recent study suggest that dengue and Zika viruses are able to change their host’s odor by altering the skin microbiota.
Scientific research
New research offers insights into how human gut bacteria recognize sulfated glycans. The findings could help to develop interventions for diseases where sulfated glycan metabolism is altered.
Scientific research
A human rights activist and a group of anthropologists and human biologists provide suggestions for more inclusive and ethical research practices in microbiome research.
Scientific research
A new study (Science Translational Medicine) suggests a link between microbiota, microbial metabolites and the maintenance of specific immune cells.
Endocrinology, Scientific research
Researchers have found that the gut microbiota could contribute to liver function through the transfer of bacterial sphingolipids to the host’s liver.
Scientific research
A Transdisciplinary Doctoral Programme managed by the University of Naples Federico II through its Task Force on Microbiome Studies.
Scientific research
New research provides new insights into host-microbiota genetic interactions, shedding light on the role of human genetics on gut microbes.
