Neuroscience
Researchers have identified new bacterial molecules that are able to travel to the brain and inhibit brain cell function.

A new study helps to explain how nerve cells sense the microbes in the gut and how they coordinate their function with other tissues in the digestive tract.
Allergology, Pediatrics
A new study (The Lancet Respiratory Medicine) suggests that the decrease in the incidence of childhood asthma is a consequence of reduced antibiotic use.
Oncology
Cancer-associated microbial signatures in the blood could help to detect the disease at its early stage, a study published in Nature has found.

Scientific research
A study published in PLOS Pathogens suggests that the oral microbiota could be used to predict the outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplants.
Cardiology
Researchers have identified a microbial metabolite linked to events such as heart attack and stroke. The findings could lead to new ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat heart disease.
Gastroenterology
The largest study of fecal microbiota transplant in the UK shows that the procedure can successfully treat patients with C. diff infection.
