To survive in the human gut, bacteria have evolved genes that help them to fight rival microbes, a new study published in Nature shows.
Scientific research
Researchers at Stanford University reviewed the evidence that links industrial lifestyle to changes in the microbiota and propose approaches to preserve health.
Immunology, Pediatrics
Early-life exposure to defined microbial communities triggers the development of specific immune cells and influences the abundance of these cells in the skin.
Neuroscience
Our gut microbiota might affect how well and for how long we sleep, according to a new study. The findings may lead to new ways to improve sleep.
Infectiology, Nutrition
A low-fiber, high-fat diet promotes Salmonella gut colonization by increasing the level of bile salts, according to a recent study.
Nutrition
The type of dietary flavonoids we consume could influence the gut microbiota, according to a new study published in mBio.
Neuroscience
A study published in Science shows that the gut microbiota influences daily rhythms through a mechanism by which gut microbes control host metabolism.
Nutrition
Diet could be an important determinant of antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiota, a study published in Cell Metabolism claims.
Geriatrics, Video
An Italian study carried out at the University of Bologna investigated the relationship between longevity and the microbiota. We discussed it with Professor Patrizia Brigidi, coordinator of the project.
Gastroenterology
Interesting results on the effectiveness of FMT in IBS and on the effects of diet and drugs on the gut microbiota composition and functionality were presented at the UEG 2019…
