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.
Scientific research
A new study (Science Translational Medicine) suggests a link between microbiota, microbial metabolites and the maintenance of specific immune cells.
Endocrinology, Scientific research
Researchers have found that the gut microbiota could contribute to liver function through the transfer of bacterial sphingolipids to the host’s liver.

Pediatrics
A new clinical trial indicates that Bifidobacterium strains can accelerate microbiota maturation, with positive immunological effects in premature babies.
Pediatrics
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.
Gynecology
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.
Gastroenterology, Pediatrics
New research highlights how microbial signatures could be used to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis, leading to faster diagnosis.
Neuroscience
Together with Prof. Ted Dinan (UCC Ireland) we discuss the link between gut and psychological distress.
Scientific research
New research provides new insights into host-microbiota genetic interactions, shedding light on the role of human genetics on gut microbes.
Scientific research
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe highlights the association of fibers with the microbiota.
Gynecology, Infectiology
Recurrent UTIs are in part caused by alterations of the gut microbiota and different immune response to bacterial bladder colonization.
Scientific research
New research suggests that hypothalamic neurons use muropeptides as a measure of food intake or of imbalances in the gut microbiota.
Scientific research
New research suggests that the gut microbiota protects the femoral head through the production of extracellular vesicles.
Nutrition, Pediatrics
New research suggests that B. infantis can be used to treat children with acute malnutrition.
Nutrition
New research suggests that restoring the gut microbiota’s capacity to sense dietary signals mediated by specific host factors may improve metabolic problems.
Gynecology
Harnessing the human-microbial synergy during pregnancy in the form of probiotics has been shown to impact maternal health and the health of the developing fetus.
Gastroenterology
The virome might be used in therapeutic approaches: eliminating or replacing disease-driving intestinal viruses with health-promoting viruses may be beneficial for people with IBD.
