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.
Gynecology, Oncology
Researchers have identified potential microbial markers that could identify women with HPV infection at risk for progression to cervical cancer.
Gastroenterology
A study, published in Cell Host & Microbe, suggests why undernourished people may be more susceptible to intestinal infections than healthy individuals.
Gastroenterology
A study published in Cell Metabolism shows that the gut microbiota can act at a distance to protect against liver damage.
Neuroscience

Allergology, Pediatrics
A new study (The Lancet Respiratory Medicine) suggests that the decrease in the incidence of childhood asthma is a consequence of reduced antibiotic use.
Oncology
Cancer-associated microbial signatures in the blood could help to detect the disease at its early stage, a study published in Nature has found.
Scientific research
A study published in PLOS Pathogens suggests that the oral microbiota could be used to predict the outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplants.
Cardiology
Researchers have identified a microbial metabolite linked to events such as heart attack and stroke. The findings could lead to new ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat heart disease.

Radiotherapy against prostate cancer may cause serious intestinal side effects. We discussed the impact of the local microbiota with Miguel Reis Ferreira.
Gastroenterology
The largest study of fecal microbiota transplant in the UK shows that the procedure can successfully treat patients with C. diff infection.
Neuroscience
Researchers at UCC Ireland reviewed current knowledge on the microbiota-gut-brain relationship. Their work is published in Cell Metabolism.
Dentistry
Researchers have found that smoking e-cigarettes changes the community of microbes living in the mouth, making users prone to inflammation and infection.
Scientific research
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, showed the existence of shared gut microbial strains in twins, even after years post separation.
