How gut bacteria could trigger a heart attack

New therapeutic strategies that rely on TLR4 inhibition can counteract the formation of coronary clots in people with cardiovascular disease.

Inflammatory molecules can trigger multiple sclerosis by regulating the gut microbiota

IL-17 molecules from the gut can influence autoimmune diseases in the central nervous system by regulating the gut microbiota.

How dietary fiber helps the microbiota to recover after antibiotic treatment

Dietary fiber can influence the production of several microbial metabolites that may modify the human gut microbiome and, more in general, health.

How gut metabolites influence Cryptosporidium infection of intestinal cells

Different gut metabolites can influence the Cryptosporidium parasite’s growth and invasion of intestinal cells. A new study published in mBio claims.

New cancer microbiome atlas tells tissue-resident microbes from contaminants

TCGA allows to explore the role of tissue-resident microbiota in various cancer types and identifying predictive microbial biomarkers.

Specific gut bacteria are associated with inflammatory bowel disease

Immune responses to the gut microbiota can be used as biomarkers of clinical course in IBD or as targets for the treatment or prevention of the condition.

Delivery mode influences the composition of the infant gut microbiota

The findings suggest that delivery mode, rather than birth canal exposure, has a strong influence on the composition of the infant microbiota.

Gut microbes modulate mice’s immune response during infection with malaria parasites

Modulating the gut microbiota could help to increase Plasmodium-specific immunity, thus reducing disease severity and malaria-associated mortality.

Scientists find microbial “signature” of depression

Researches have found that MDD is characterized by disturbances in the gut microbiota and may allow clinicians to better diagnose it.

Two-pronged approach may help to treat inflammatory bowel disease

A two-pronged treatment strategy — consisting of an engineered peptide and an FDA-approved drug —  could help to reduce gut inflammation.
