In mice, a ketogenic diet protects the lungs from sepsis via gut bacteria

Azelaic acid travels from the gut to the lungs, where it activates immune cells to reduce inflammation and protect the lungs.

Mouth bacteria might play an active role in obesity

Computer models combining oral bacteria, their metabolic functions, and saliva chemicals could better distinguish obese from healthy individuals compared with clinical measurements alone. 

A whole-tomato approach to functional nutrition, inflammation, and microbiome modulation

Piergiorgio Natali (Mediterranean Task force for Cancer Control) discusses the importance of improving functional foods as a strategy to support health, particularly during aging.

Gut bacterial genes may control how diet influences tumor growth and immunity

Gut microbes can influence cancer outcomes by regulating nutrient availability and uptake in immune cells.

Personalized microbiota therapies may be key to treating gut diseases

Effective treatment of IBD requires an approach combining tailored donors, microbiota analysis, and diet.

Gut microbiota can predict who benefits from fiber to prevent diabetes

The effectiveness of dietary fiber in improving blood sugar in prediabetes depends on an individual’s gut microbiota.

Food as code

When we eat, we are not adding energy to a furnace. We are running a programme. And like any programme, the outcome depends entirely on the operating system that interprets…

Gut microbiota, intestinal barrier, and sepsis: from dysbiosis to probiotics—what preclinical evidence suggests

Francesco Franceschi from Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS (Roma) focuses on bacterial translocation across a compromised intestinal barrier as a plausible pathway contributing to sepsis.

Reinforcing the gut barrier: how probiotics support intestinal integrity and immune health

Arthur Ouwehand, Technical Fellow at IFF Finland, discusses the components and vulnerabilities of the gut barrier and reviews how probiotics and related dietary interventions can support its structure and function.

Microbiota, immunity, and the environment: towards an integrated One Health approach

At the 13th Probiotics, Prebiotics and New Foods Congress, Silvia Turroni (University of Bologna) shares insights from the session “The Microbiome and One Health,” which explored how the microbiota bridges…
