Immunology
Disrupting the gut microbiota with antibiotics could affect the immune response to flu vaccination, according to a new study published in Cell.
Endocrinology
Researchers developed a rapid method to investigate how diet, drugs and the microbiota interact to influence host health.
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
John Cryan at the UCC Ireland and his colleagues reviewed the current knowledge of the influence that gut bacteria have on brain and behavior.
Scientific research
Scientists have discovered thousands of small proteins, which had not been identified previously. The findings, published in Cell, could help drug development.
Endocrinology
Obesity, dietary supplements and key medications such as antidiabetics are associated with changes in gut microbiota composition, a recent study claims.
Endocrinology
A study published in the journal Science identified a specific class of gut bacteria that prevents mice from becoming obese.
Scientific research
There may be more genes in the gut and oral microbiome than previously thought, a large study of the human microbiome claims.
Gastroenterology
A study suggests the existence of a link between aging and the gut microbiota. The results may help design probiotic treatments for age-related conditions.
Gynecology, Pediatrics
Antibiotics given to mothers during childbirth could alter the infants’ gut microbiota, a new study published in Scientific Reports finds.
Scientific research
The gut microbiota could influence our health by producing metabolites that interact with human receptors, a study published in Cell Host & Microbe claims.
