microbiota transplantation
Gastroenterology, Scientific research
MOZAIC, an AI model designed to compare donor and recipients microbiotas, predicted the microbiota convergence after FMT with an accuracy of about 80%.
Neuroscience
Targeting gut bacteria, their metabolites, or gut-to-brain signaling could offer new strategies to prevent or treat age-related memory decline.
Industry
The agreement covers the development and future commercialization in Europe of VOWST®, the first oral LBP approved in the United States to prevent recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection.
Scientific research, Oncology
Targeting specific bacterial strains, rather than overall gut diversity, can help develop effective microbiota therapies.
Video, Events
Giovanni Marasco, University of Bologna, discusses the growing evidence that links gut microbiota dysbiosis to the pathophysiology, clinical prognosis, disease progression, and treatment response of patients with IBD.
Oncology
Modifying the microbiota through a fecal transplant can be safely combined with immunotherapy in people with kidney cancer.
Gastroenterology
Effective treatment of IBD requires an approach combining tailored donors, microbiota analysis, and diet.
Neuroscience
Future studies should have clearly defined hypotheses, adequate sample size, standardized protocols, and replication using multiple independent approaches.
Gastroenterology
Fiber can influence how well bacteria from a fecal microbiota transplant successfully settle and grow in a person’s gut.
Gastroenterology
Region-specific microbial transplants may be safer and more effective than standard fecal microbiota transplants.
