gut microbiota
Immunology
The findings of a recent study suggest that the production of inositol lipids is common in Bacteroidetes and other gut-associated bacteria, and it may be a means of cross-kingdom communication.
Industry
The partnership program aims to develop next-generation probiotics and therapeutics to modulate the gut microbiota to target areas like anxiety, depression and mental well-being.
Scientific research
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.
Pediatrics
New research shows that microbiota diversity appears early in infants from nonindustrial populations and could be traced back to their mothers as well as to the local environment.

It's the second agreement between Boehringer Ingelheim and BiomX focused on IBD. The first one in 2020.
Gastroenterology
Researchers have found that some microbes involved in inflammatory conditions produced different effects based on their interaction with different host genes and through different pathways.
Industry
Locus is developing a new class of precision engineered bacteriophage treatments for a diverse set of bacterial diseases.
Scientific research
A human rights activist and a group of anthropologists and human biologists provide suggestions for more inclusive and ethical research practices in microbiome research.
Neuroscience
Researchers have found that a metabolite released from gut bacteria contributes to cognitive decline by influencing gene expression in the brain’s resident immune cells.
