microbiota transplantation

AI-based donor-matching tool may boost fecal transplant success rates

MOZAIC, an AI model designed to compare donor and recipients microbiotas, predicted the microbiota convergence after FMT with an accuracy of about 80%.

Gut bacteria cause memory loss in mice, but restoring gut-brain signals reverses it

Targeting gut bacteria, their metabolites, or gut-to-brain signaling could offer new strategies to prevent or treat age-related memory decline. 

VOWST eyes Europe as IdB Holding and Nestlé Health Science bet on microbiome therapeutics

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.

Success of microbiota transplants may depend on specific bacterial strains

Targeting specific bacterial strains, rather than overall gut diversity, can help develop effective microbiota therapies.

Targeting the gut microbiota in IBD: from diet and probiotics to fecal microbiota transplantation

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.

Healthy donor fecal transplants may boost immunotherapy in kidney cancer

Modifying the microbiota through a fecal transplant can be safely combined with immunotherapy in people with kidney cancer.

Personalized microbiota therapies may be key to treating gut diseases

Effective treatment of IBD requires an approach combining tailored donors, microbiota analysis, and diet.

Review finds no strong evidence for a causal link between gut microbes and autism

Future studies should have clearly defined hypotheses, adequate sample size, standardized protocols, and replication using multiple independent approaches.

Fiber may boost efficacy of fecal microbiota transplants for ulcerative colitis

Fiber can influence how well bacteria from a fecal microbiota transplant successfully settle and grow in a person’s gut.

Mismatch in fecal transplants could disrupt gut balance and metabolism

Region-specific microbial transplants may be safer and more effective than standard fecal microbiota transplants.
