A study suggests the existence of a link between aging and the gut microbiota. The results may help design probiotic treatments for age-related conditions.
Scientists at KU Leuven summarized existing data on how SCFAs regulate the gut–brain axis, including the impact on the immune, endocrine and neural systems.
IBD: a study, published in Nature, for the first time analyzed the chemical and molecular events that disrupt the gut microbiota during flare-ups.
Researchers at the University of Michigan developed a mouse model that recapitulates many hallmarks of gut inflammation seen in people with Crohn’s disease.
Researchers have figured out how specific strains of Enterococcus faecalis became a deadly pathogen, causing a series of deadly infections in the mid 1980s.
What characteristics will the probiotics of the future have? We asked Antonio Gasbarrini, director of CEMAD at the Policlinico Gemelli.
Scientists have found that even in healthy people, many mouth microbes are able to reach the gut and colonize it. The study was published in the journal eLife.
A common fungus found on skin may worsen symptoms of IBD in people with a particular genetic make-up, scientists report in Cell Host and Microbe.
Cells in the gut sense commensal microbes through receptors that trigger the production of inflammatory molecules and the activation of the immune system.
The gut microbiota can be useful to distinguish between IBD and IBS. That's according to a study published in Science Translational Medicine.
