How microbial metabolites shape allergy, asthma and obesity-related inflammation

Liam O’Mahony explores how diet influences the immune system through the metabolic activity of the gut microbiota.

Mouth bacteria might play an active role in obesity

Computer models combining oral bacteria, their metabolic functions, and saliva chemicals could better distinguish obese from healthy individuals compared with clinical measurements alone. 

Probiotics help counter harmful effects of high-sugar diets in mice

Probiotics protect against obesity and inflammation caused by high sugar intake, supporting their use as a preventive strategy for obesity-related diabetes.

Targeting gut bacteria with acetate offers new hope for treating obesity
