Modulating the gut microbiota could help to increase Plasmodium-specific immunity, thus reducing disease severity and malaria-associated mortality.
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 microbial transplant could be a promising treatment for intestinal graft-versus-host disease caused by stem cell transplantation.
The gut microbiota can shape our antibodies before we encounter a disease-causing microbe, a new study published in Nature has found.
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…
A new study, published in Cell, suggests that ketogenic diets could be used as a therapy for autoimmune disorders of the gut.
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.
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.
