Scientific research
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.
Scientific research
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe highlights the association of fibers with the microbiota.
Scientific research
New research suggests that hypothalamic neurons use muropeptides as a measure of food intake or of imbalances in the gut microbiota.
Scientific research
New research suggests that the gut microbiota protects the femoral head through the production of extracellular vesicles.
