The results of a new research done in mice suggest that gut bacteria can regulate host physiology by metabolizing vitamin A.
Gastroenterology
Probiotic supplements with ethanol-metabolizing activity may help reduce the disease burden of excessive alcohol consumption.
Gastroenterology, Video
Sudarshen Paramsothy (University of New South Wales, Australia) discussed the controversials about FMT in IBD patients.
Endocrinology
New research in mice suggests that two MACs, L-arabinose and sucrose, have specific effects on gut microbes that may prevent diet-induced obesity.
Gastroenterology, Video
Herbert Tilg (University Innsbruck, Austria) discussed the relationship between Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and gut microbiome.
Gastroenterology, Immunology
The findings of a new research show that gut bacteria can become harmful over time by gaining the ability to escape the intestine and persist in other organs where they…
Gastroenterology, Pneumology
The findings of a new research suggest that changes in the microbial composition of people with COVID-19 could be used as a biomarker of invasion of lung pathogens and dysbiosis…
Neuroscience
Together with Prof. Ted Dinan (UCC Ireland), in this episode we discuss the link between gut and depression.
Neuroscience
Niall Hyland (University College Cork) discussed the research on gut brain axis and the potential role of psychobiotics.
Immunology
The findings of a new research may inform strategies for treating intestinal diseases by targeting pathogens without killing beneficial gut bacteria.
Scientific research
Researchers at Harvard Medical School propose to “rejuvenate” a person’s microbiota by collecting stool samples for future treatment of diseases that could be managed with fecal microbial transplantation (FMT).
Immunology
The findings of a recent study suggest that the production of inositol lipids is common in Bacteroidetes and other gut-associated bacteria, and it may be a means of cross-kingdom communication.
Dermatology, Scientific research
The findings of a recent study suggest that dengue and Zika viruses are able to change their host’s odor by altering the skin microbiota.
Scientific research
New research offers insights into how human gut bacteria recognize sulfated glycans. The findings could help to develop interventions for diseases where sulfated glycan metabolism is altered.
Pediatrics
New research shows that microbiota diversity appears early in infants from nonindustrial populations and could be traced back to their mothers as well as to the local environment.
Neuroscience
The findings of a small clinical trial suggest that probiotic treatment could be used in combination with antidepressant medication to treat clinical depression.
Pediatrics
The findings of a new research suggest that IgG in breast milk promotes immunity against intestinal pathogens and shapes the development of the gut microbiota and immune cells in early…
Gastroenterology
The findings of a new research reveal the microbiota alterations during NAFLD and suggest that gut microbes can be used as an early clinical sign of the condition.
Gastroenterology
Researchers have found that some microbes involved in inflammatory conditions produced different effects based on their interaction with different host genes and through different pathways.
Scientific 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.
