Studies reveal the fungal communities associated with tumors

New studies provide evidence that there may be fungi within tumors and could also help to diagnose certain types of cancer or predicting their course.

COVID-19 in children: nasal microbiota as a possible ‘shield’ protection

Moraxella may be involved in protecting children from COVID-19 infections through its action on amino acid and lipid metabolism in the upper respiratory tract.

Engraftment levels may determine success of microbiota transplant

The findings of a new research could help to optimize fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) protocols and identify the most suitable donors for transplantation.

Recurrent infections and estrogen can shape the urogenital microbiota

New research indicates that recurrent urinary tract infections and estrogen can shape the urogenital microbiota in ways that may protect against recurrent infections.

New study demonstrates the positive outcomes of FMT in NAFLD patients

Faecal microbiota transplant appears to effectively improve both clinical parameters and bacterial balance in the liver, especially in thin individuals.

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.

Impact of Urbanization on Skin Microbiome

Chris Callewaert (Research Foundation Flanders - FWO) discussed the research he conducted on the effect of pollutants on skin microbiome and micobiome.

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.

Microbial metabolite could boost efficacy of immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer

A gut microbial metabolite called trimethylamine N-oxide, or TMAO, could improve immunotherapy success in pancreatic cancer.

Altered gut microbiota linked with poorer survival after organ transplant

The findings of a new research suggest that microbiota-based therapies can help improve clinical outcomes after organ transplants.

New method tracks errant gut microbes that can trigger inflammatory diseases

Researchers have developed a new technique that can identify which gut microbes have migrated from the gut to the blood.

Gut microbes evolved with their human hosts

A recent study shows that some bacterial strains are similar to the human host phylogeny, suggesting that they evolved alongside humans.

Gut microbes may help to regulate cholesterol levels

The findings of a new study suggest that Bacteroides can metabolize cholesterol, thus helping to regulate its levels in the blood.

Gut-Brain Theory – Episode 3: Insomnia, anxiety and the microbiome

Together with Prof. Ted Dinan (UCC Ireland), in this episode we discuss the link between gut, insomnia and anxiety.

Can a Fecal Microbiota Transplant Help Treat IBDs?

Sam Costello (The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide) presented recent evidences about FMT and IBDs.

COVID-19 may alter lung microbiota and reduce immunity, facilitating secondary infections

COVID-19 alters the local immunity of the lung in ways that weaken the body’s antimicrobial defense and facilitate the development of secondary infections.

Phage therapy eases inflammatory bowel disease in mice

The findings of a recent study suggest that phages can be used to treat IBD and other diseases associated with gut microbes.

How Microbiotica Developed MB097, Live Bacterial Therapeutic that Could Boost Cancer Treatments

Ghaith Bakdash described how Microbiotica discovered a specific microbiome signature in patients responder to immune-oncology drugs such as anti-PD1 / PDL1 and developed a new bacterial consortium.

Engineered microbiota may be used for drug delivery

The findings of a recent study suggest that engineered native gut bacteria could be employed to help treat certain diseases such as diabetes.
