Towards a more ethical microbiome research

A human rights activist and a group of anthropologists and human biologists provide suggestions for more inclusive and ethical research practices in microbiome research.

How gut microbes may influence cognitive decline

Researchers have found that a metabolite released from gut bacteria contributes to cognitive decline by influencing gene expression in the brain’s resident immune cells.

Pendulum Therapeutics Releases In-Depth Profile of Akkermansia muciniphila

New publication reveals how a keystone strain exerts potential to impact a spectrum of health outcomes through immune and metabolic regulation.

How a diverse gut microbiota improves stem cell transplant outcomes

A new study (Science Translational Medicine) suggests a link between microbiota, microbial metabolites and the maintenance of specific immune cells.

Gut microbiota may modulate liver metabolism

Researchers have found that the gut microbiota could contribute to liver function through the transfer of bacterial sphingolipids to the host’s liver.

CRESCENDO: Call for recruitment of 10 PhDs in the Microbiome field

A Transdisciplinary Doctoral Programme managed by the University of Naples Federico II through its Task Force on Microbiome Studies.

Probiotics may help to form a mature microbiota in premature babies

A new clinical trial indicates that Bifidobacterium strains can accelerate microbiota maturation, with positive immunological effects in premature babies.

Human milk sugar and probiotic blend may help manipulate the gut microbiota

New research suggests that a combination of human milk-derived sugars and the probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis could help manipulate the gut microbiota in ways that may offer therapeutic benefits.

Do maternal vaginal fluids improve the health of babies born by C-section?

If maternal-child microbial seeding improves health outcomes, it may be a public health strategy that could reduce the prevalence of C-section-associated diseases.

Viral signature may signal deadly gut disease in premature babies

New research highlights how microbial signatures could be used to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis, leading to faster diagnosis.
