How gut-brain connections control intestinal function

A study published in Nature could help to determine how intestinal motility is regulated and understand systemic disorders related to the gut-brain axis.

Complexities of microbial gnotobiotic transfer between human and mice

A new study assessed that transplantation of human microbiota into mice durably reshapes the gut microbial community.

The role of gut microbes in autism

To examine the link between autism and gut microbes, researchers led by Anne Konkle at the University of Ottawa analyzed the recent scientific literature.

Molecules that remodel the gut microbiota reverse narrowing of arteries in mice

Researchers have developed molecules that remodel the gut microbiota to a healthier state, reducing cholesterol levels and inhibiting atherosclerosis.

Christophe Lacroix: ‘Our challenge is to culture anaerobic bacteria’

PharmaBiome has developed unique technologies to access the entire range of intestinal bacteria. We met Christophe Lacroix, Founder of Pharmabiome.

Biofilm-coated bacteria could help to treat gastrointestinal infections

Researchers have developed an approach that uses bacterial biofilms to increase the ability of the gut microbiota to survive and reside in the gastrointestinal tract.

Specific disease-modifying gut bacteria characterize Parkinson’s disease across countries

A japanese team identified bacterial populations that may determine intestinal pathology and influence the development of Parkinson's disease.

Gut microbes could regulate immune response against colon cancer

Researchers have found that the gut microbiota and the death of intestinal cells caused by chemotherapy can enhance the immune response of people with colon cancer.

New approach shows how microbial communities in the gut alter drug safety and efficacy

Researchers have found that the community of bacteria in a person’s gut can alter how well they metabolize drugs.

Oral microbiome could play a role in head and neck cancer

We discussed the role of the microbiome in HPV-positive head and neck cancer patients with Marc Oliva Bernal (Institut Català d’Oncologia, Spain).
