gut microbiota
Cardiology
New therapeutic strategies that rely on TLR4 inhibition can counteract the formation of coronary clots in people with cardiovascular disease.
Neuroscience
IL-17 molecules from the gut can influence autoimmune diseases in the central nervous system by regulating the gut microbiota.
Nutrition
Dietary fiber can influence the production of several microbial metabolites that may modify the human gut microbiome and, more in general, health.
Gastroenterology
Different gut metabolites can influence the Cryptosporidium parasite’s growth and invasion of intestinal cells. A new study published in mBio claims.
Oncology
TCGA allows to explore the role of tissue-resident microbiota in various cancer types and identifying predictive microbial biomarkers.
Gastroenterology
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.
Gastroenterology, Gynecology
The findings suggest that delivery mode, rather than birth canal exposure, has a strong influence on the composition of the infant microbiota.
Gastroenterology, Immunology
Modulating the gut microbiota could help to increase Plasmodium-specific immunity, thus reducing disease severity and malaria-associated mortality.
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
Researches have found that MDD is characterized by disturbances in the gut microbiota and may allow clinicians to better diagnose it.
Gastroenterology
A two-pronged treatment strategy — consisting of an engineered peptide and an FDA-approved drug — could help to reduce gut inflammation.
