gut microbiota
Infectiology, Pediatrics
Gut bacteria could be responsible for a life-threatening disease called necrotizing enterocolitis, which occurs mainly in premature babies.
Immunology
Changes in the proportion of some gut bacteria could promote graft-versus-host disease. That’s according to a new study done in mice, published in Science.
Scientific research
The gut microbes of native Himalayan and Andean people could have helped them to survive at high altitudes, a new study claims.
Nutrition
Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine reviewed the body of evidence that shows how added sugars and sweeteners shape the gut microbiota.
Oncology
Specific gut bacteria can activate plant-derived compounds that protect against cancer, according to a study published in Nature Microbiology.
Scientific research
The bacteria in our gut could influence the efficacy of exercise in preventing diabetes, a new study published in Cell Metabolism shows.
Neuroscience
A study published in Nature suggests that the gut microbiota could help understand conditions such as chronic anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Scientific research
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.
