Microbiota regulation of viral infections through interferon signalling

Microbiomepost discussed with Vanessa Harris during the MicrobiotaMI congress 2023 about viral interaction with gut microbiome.

Microbial metabolite may damage the DNA of gut stem cells

The findings of a recent study suggest that tilimycin-producing bacteria can cause genetic mutations in the colon and increase a person’s susceptibility to disease.

How the microbiome-gut-brain axis impacts social cognition and craving in young binge drinkers

The study reveals a connection between gut microbiome changes and the most prevalent form of alcohol misuse in adolescence, occurring even before the onset of addiction.

Immune cells may shuttle beneficial gut microbes to boost anticancer responses

The findings of a new study shed light on a general mechanism by which gut bacteria may influence anti-cancer immune responses.

Babies receive microbes from their mothers through multiple routes

The findings of a new study suggest that mothers transmit bacteria to their infants through multiple routes — a process that ensures that babies receive essential microbes.

A gut microbe can promote growth in mice

The findings of a new study suggest that providing at-risk populations with NOD2 ligands or probiotic bacteria that release high levels of NOD2-activating molecules may help to treat undernutrition.

Microbiota-derived metabolite may help combat pancreatic cancer

The findings of a new study suggest that the microbial metabolite 3-IAA could help to treat PDAC.

NicheMap: a platform to decipher the interactions that shape microbiomes

Gabriel Leventhal, Chief Scientific Officer at Pharmabiome, spoke about NicheMap, a reference database that allows us to select the most appropriate strains to engineer targeted changes in the microbiome.

The impact of gut microbiome on child mental health

Collaborative initiatives would be needed to detect subtle associations and understand the role of the gut microbiome in the development of psychiatric symptoms over time.

Diet and environment drive the diversity of the infant gut virome

The findings of a new study suggest that infants acquire their gut virome from their diet and environment rather than from their mothers.
