Fecal microbiota transplants: opportunities and challenges

In two articles published in Cell Host & Microbe, scientists discuss some areas of FMT research that could help to develop safe and effective FMT therapies.

How the microbiota regulates gut homeostasis

A new study, published in Nature Microbiology, sheds light on how gut microbes influence the equilibrium of the gut under healthy and disease conditions.

SynBalance website live: ROELMI HPC’s flagship in probiotics

A new study helps to explain how nerve cells sense the microbes in the gut and how they coordinate their function with other tissues in the digestive tract.

Gut bacteria help control muscle contraction in the colon, support healthy digestion

A new study helps to explain how nerve cells sense the microbes in the gut and how they coordinate their function with other tissues in the digestive tract.

Dietary fibers could alter the gut microbiota, benefit human health

A new study could inspire the use of dietary fibers to manipulate the gut microbiota and its functions, with beneficial effects for health.

Laxative abuse and other diarrhea-causing events could trigger C. difficile infection

A new study published in Nature Microbiology shows that the risk of colonization with C. difficile is highest during recovery from acute diarrhea.

Taking vitamin D and omega-3 during pregnancy could change the infant airway microbiota

A study suggests that the effects of dietary interventions during pregnancy are mediated by different factors, including the infant airway microbiota.

Diabetes and cancer could be transmitted through gut bacteria, researchers argue

The gut microbiota plays a role in the noncommunicable diseases. Now a theory suggests that these conditions could be transmitted through the gut bacteria.

Gut dysfunction caused by a high fat diet might be linked to microbiota composition

Fat feeding reduces nutrient sensitivity of specific cells in the gut and alters the gut microbiota, a study published in eLife claims.

Giorgio Trinchieri: ‘Microbiome based strategies in oncology to improve immunotherapy’

The modulation of the microbiota impacts on the efficacy of the new anti-PD-1 cancer therapies. We discuss it with Giorgio Trinchieri (NIH, USA).
