A japanese team identified bacterial populations that may determine intestinal pathology and influence the development of Parkinson's disease.

Gut microbes could regulate immune response against colon cancer

Researchers have found that the gut microbiota and the death of intestinal cells caused by chemotherapy can enhance the immune response of people with colon cancer.

New approach shows how microbial communities in the gut alter drug safety and efficacy

Researchers have found that the community of bacteria in a person’s gut can alter how well they metabolize drugs.

Gut microbes could improve symptoms of neurodegenerative disorder

In mice with a genetic mutation linked to ALS, altering the gut microbiota could prevent or improve disease symptoms, a study published in Nature has found.

Mouse microbiota more powerfully activates the murine immune system compared to human microbiota

A study published in Nature revealed that immune-regulating bacteria are lost when transplanting microbiota from humans to laboratory mice and that the established human microbiota results in a weak stimulation…
