The microbiota clock: how gut microbes and circadian rhythms influence health

Researchers at UCC Ireland reviewed current knowledge on the microbiota-gut-brain relationship. Their work is published in Cell Metabolism.

Gut microbe could protect against Parkinson’s, study in worms shows

A new study published in Cell Reports suggests that a common gut microbe could slow—and even reverse—the build-up of a protein associated with Parkinson's.

How gut microbes influence social behavior

A study reviewed the evidences that link the microbiota with social behaviors, analyzing how the microbiota-gut-brain axis influences sociability.

Gut microbes could help mice to forget fear

A study published in Nature suggests that the gut microbiota could help understand conditions such as chronic anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Gut microbes could influence sleep quality

Our gut microbiota might affect how well and for how long we sleep, according to a new study. The findings may lead to new ways to improve sleep.

How gut microbes influence daily rhythms

A study published in Science shows that the gut microbiota influences daily rhythms through a mechanism by which gut microbes control host metabolism.

A comprehensive look at the microbiota-gut-brain axis

John Cryan at the UCC Ireland and his colleagues reviewed the current knowledge of the influence that gut bacteria have on brain and behavior.

Gut microbes could influence neurodegenerative disease progression

A new study, published in Nature, shows a functional link between the gut microbiota and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ASL).

The role of short-chain fatty acids in the gut-brain axis

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.

Gut bacteria metabolize Parkinson’s disease medication

Specific gut bacteria break down levodopa, which is used to treat Parkinson’s. This could lead to the development of new levodopa therapies.
