A japanese team identified bacterial populations that may determine intestinal pathology and influence the development of Parkinson's disease.
Oncology
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.
Scientific research
Researchers have found that the community of bacteria in a person’s gut can alter how well they metabolize drugs.
Gynecology
Researchers have found that alterations of the vaginal microbiota are associated with the success of in-vitro fertilization.

We discussed the role of the microbiome in HPV-positive head and neck cancer patients with Marc Oliva Bernal (Institut Català d’Oncologia, Spain).
Neuroscience
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.
