World Microbiome Day 2023: Microbes and Food

Together with Professor Lorenzo Morelli we focused on the significant role of diet and the microbiome in terms of health benefits, food production, and agri-industry systems.

A mother’s diet can change the infant microbiota, prevent respiratory infection

Diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota confer protection against respiratory infections by regulating the development of key components of the immune system.

A gut microbe can promote growth in mice

The findings of a new study suggest that providing at-risk populations with NOD2 ligands or probiotic bacteria that release high levels of NOD2-activating molecules may help to treat undernutrition.

The gut microbiota: a key player in obesity and weight management

Specific gut bacteria and/or metabolites could be responsible for the differential responses to weight management.

How some gut microbes can promote obesity

The findings of a new study indicate that gut commensals may contribute to obesity through the overproduction of microbe-derived lipids.

Some gut microbes may reverse diet-mediated protection against type 1 diabetes

The findings of a recent study may inform dietary interventions to help protect people against type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

A nursing mother’s diet alters the microbiota of her offspring, mouse study finds

The findings of a new research suggest that a mother’s diet during nursing influences her offspring’s microbiota composition, gut health and predisposition to become obese.

Some gut microbes can suppress binge-eating of sweet foods

The findings of a new research suggest that the gut microbiota can influence binge-eating of sweet foods.

High-sugar diet could disrupt microbiota, increase odds of obesity and diabetes

The findings of a new study suggest that the interplay between diet, microbiota and intestinal immunity regulates obesity, diabetes and other metabolic conditions.

Some artificial sweeteners may alter the microbiota, affect blood glucose control

A recent study suggests that the microbiome changes in response to human consumption of non-nutritive sweetener may induce glycemic changes in consumers in a personalized manner.
