COVID-19 could have long-lasting impacts on gut microbiota composition

Targeted manipulation to promote the microbial diversity could be an important strategy to treat long COVID-19 and speed up recovery.

Microbial transplants shape the gut microbiota in people with HIV, pilot trial suggests

Microbial transplants could be used as a non-invasive and safe strategy to manipulate the gut microbiota, which has been linked to HIV infection.

Gut microbes modulate mice’s immune response during infection with malaria parasites

Modulating the gut microbiota could help to increase Plasmodium-specific immunity, thus reducing disease severity and malaria-associated mortality.

How gut bacteria could help to rebuild the immune system

A study published in Nature suggests new approaches to improve BMTs as well as treatments for immune-mediated diseases by regulating the gut microbiota.

Fecal transfer could treat lethal immune condition after stem cell transplantation

Fecal microbial transplant could be a promising treatment for intestinal graft-versus-host disease caused by stem cell transplantation.

Gut microbes could shape antibodies, help to avoid life-threatening condition

The gut microbiota can shape our antibodies before we encounter a disease-causing microbe, a new study published in Nature has found.

Mouse microbiota more powerfully activates the murine immune system compared to human microbiota

A study published in Nature revealed that immune-regulating bacteria are lost when transplanting microbiota from humans to laboratory mice and that the established human microbiota results in a weak stimulation…

Ketogenic diets could alter the gut microbiota, reduce inflammation

A new study, published in Cell, suggests that ketogenic diets could be used as a therapy for autoimmune disorders of the gut.

How the microbiota shapes the development of the immune system

A. Macpherson et al. reviewed studies that looked at the interaction between the gut microbiota and their mammalian hosts, from fetal development to the early postnatal period.

Gut microbiota could promote lethal immune condition after transplant

Changes in the proportion of some gut bacteria could promote graft-versus-host disease. That’s according to a new study done in mice, published in Science.
