Gut bacteria influence neurodegeneration in mice

The findings may inform strategies to modulate the gut microbiota as a way to prevent or treat neurodegeneration.

The microbiota may promote sensory neuron regeneration

The findings of a recent study suggest that the microbiota can promote neuronal repair after tissue damage.

Gut microbes may regulate motivation to exercise

The findings of a recent study suggest that signals derived from the gut can boost the motivation to exercise.

Gut microbes may help keep the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier intact

A recent study suggests that the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier is another barrier along the gut-brain axis that is likely influenced by the gut microbiota.

Two large studies link specific gut bacteria to depression

The findings of a new research support the link between gut microbes and depression, and suggest that the gut microbiota can be a target for future therapies.

Gut bacteria influence response to cocaine in mice

The findings of a new research may help to inform therapies to modulate brain circuits that are involved in substance use disorders.

Periodontitis may be linked to Alzheimer’s disease

Periodontitis might be associated with cognitive decline, suggesting a possible etiopathologic role in Alzheimer's disease.

New study supports link between gut bacteria and multiple sclerosis

The findings of a new research shed light on the mechanisms by which gut bacteria influence the development and progression of multiple sclerosis.

High levels of antibodies against specific gut bacteria may be linked to chronic fatigue

The findings of a new research suggest that combining Lachnospiraceae antibody screening with blood tests could improve the diagnosis of ME/CFS.
