The findings of a japanese research suggest that several viruses are linked to specific populations and diseases.
Gastroenterology
Researchers have found that a diet low in fermentable carbohydrates can alter the human microbiota in ways that influence the expression of genes involved in inflammation and intestinal integrity.
Oncology
A recent study confirms that 5-FU exerts part of its anti-cancer effects through inhibiting the growth of F. nucleatum, the commensal associated with colorectal cancer progression.
Gastroenterology
A recent study confirms that ileum and colon have a distinct microbiota: unlike the bacterial composition of the colon, the ileum is subject to frequent fluctuations.

The findings of a recent study suggest that a specific strain of Subdoligranulum can drive the production of autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis.
Gastroenterology
Scientists identified a bacterium, Bacteroides xylanisolvens, that reduced gut nicotine concentrations in mice exposed to nicotine as well as the severity of NAFLD.

The findings of a new research may help to develop improved diagnostic or treatment approaches for pancreatic cancer.
Gastroenterology, Pediatrics
A supplement of LGG would seem to favour the proliferation of Bifidobacterium and the improvement of clinical and immunological response to childhood cystic fibrosis.
Gastroenterology
Researchers found that the microbiota of the recipient, rather than that of the donor, determines the microbial mix resulting from a fecal transplant.
Oncology
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.
Pediatrics
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.
Gastroenterology
The findings of a new research could help to optimize fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) protocols and identify the most suitable donors for transplantation.
