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.
Immunology
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…

A new study, published in Cell, suggests that ketogenic diets could be used as a therapy for autoimmune disorders of the gut.
Nutrition
Fermented foods such as yoghurt and cheese could be a source of health-promoting bacteria, according to a new study.
Oncology
Researchers have created a catalog of the bacteria associated with all the cancer types. The findings could help to enhance the actions of anticancer drugs.

Researchers developed a new tool to modulate the gut microbiota for neutralizing the tumor-promoting microenvironment.
Immunology, Pediatrics
A. Macpherson et al. reviewed studies that looked at the interaction between the gut microbiota and their mammalian hosts, from fetal development to the early postnatal period.
Endocrinology
Obese people have a gut microbiota that is associated with inflammation. But those who take statins have a healthier gut microbiota, a new study (Nature) found.
Gastroenterology
The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) evaluated available evidence on clinical efficacy of probiotics for most digestive conditions.
Infectiology
Ebselen may protect from C. difficile-associated tissue damage and bolster recovery of the microbiota after antibiotic treatment.
Infectiology
A new study shows that interactions with the resident gut microbiota could suppress the proliferation and antibiotic-resistance evolution of superbugs.
Oncology
A new study supports the idea that the gut microbiota composition can vary in abundance and function during the development of colorectal cancer.
Scientific research
In a commentary published in Cell, five experts discuss the challenges and opportunities of microbiota-based therapies.
Nutrition
A new study, published in Nature Medicine, suggests that changes to the microbial community in the gut could influence nutrient metabolism.
Scientific research
Researchers at North Carolina State University have underlined the evolutionary interplay between microbiomes development and human social structures.
Oncology
According to a new study published in the journal Microbiome, cancer treatment outcomes can be modulated by the levels of specific gut bacteria.
Endocrinology, Oncology
Rémy Burcelin explains how understanding the link between gut microbiota, metabolic syndrome and cancer could be useful from a therapeutic point of view.
Gynecology
A new study shows that viable bacteria are highly limited in utero, although have capacity to limit inflammatory potential of fetal intestinal T cells.
Pediatrics
A new study shows that breast milk can be protective against viral infections by reducing the accumulation of potentially harmful human viruses.
