Gut microbes may predict diabetes risk years before diagnosis

Diabetes prevention needs to account for diet-microbiota interactions, because some gut microbes appear to predict diabetes risk differently depending on fiber intake.

Precancerous growths may trigger long-lasting changes on the gut microbiota

Monitoring or reshaping the gut microbiota after adenoma removal could become part of future strategies to reduce colorectal cancer risk.

Head impacts in football may be linked to gut microbiota changes

Repeated head impacts, even if minor, can have biological effects.

Medical visits may rapidly reshape the microbiota of remote communities

The results may inform programs to preserve microbial diversity while delivering essential care.

Gut bacteria metabolite may help breast cancer to grow

Targeting deoxycholic acid (DCA)-producing gut bacteria could be a way to slow breast cancer progression.

Gut worms in mother mice linked to stronger antiviral defenses in pups

Microbiota-derived molecules such as IPA may offer a way to strengthen early-life immunity against respiratory viruses.

Autoimmune syndrome may be tied to changes in gut bacteria, fungi, and viruses

Monitoring the gut microbiota could in the future help understand, diagnose, or manage Sjögren syndrome.

Microbes fine-tune their protein production to make communities more efficient

Microbial communities may be engineered at the protein-expression level because bacteria adjust their protein production in response to specific neighbors.

Specific gut microbe makes sepsis deadlier in mice

Sangeribacter muris KT1-3 made sepsis deadlier by amplifying inflammation driven by TLR4.

Health has a source. You were never told

If the soil microbiome is the first link in a chain that terminates in human health, then agricultural policy is health policy.
