Scientific research
Chris Callewaert (Research Foundation Flanders - FWO) discussed the research he conducted on the effect of pollutants on skin microbiome and micobiome.
Denise Kelly (Investment Advisor at Seventure) discussed the next challenges and opportunities in the field of gut microbiome therapeutics.
A recent study shows that some bacterial strains are similar to the human host phylogeny, suggesting that they evolved alongside humans.
The findings of a recent study suggest that engineered native gut bacteria could be employed to help treat certain diseases such as diabetes.
The results of a new research done in mice suggest that gut bacteria can regulate host physiology by metabolizing vitamin A.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School propose to “rejuvenate” a person’s microbiota by collecting stool samples for future treatment of diseases that could be managed with fecal microbial transplantation (FMT).
The findings of a recent study suggest that dengue and Zika viruses are able to change their host’s odor by altering the skin microbiota.
New research offers insights into how human gut bacteria recognize sulfated glycans. The findings could help to develop interventions for diseases where sulfated glycan metabolism is altered.
A human rights activist and a group of anthropologists and human biologists provide suggestions for more inclusive and ethical research practices in microbiome research.
A new study (Science Translational Medicine) suggests a link between microbiota, microbial metabolites and the maintenance of specific immune cells.
