Dermatology
The skin is not merely a protective barrier; it is a complex, dynamic ecosystem populated by billions of microorganisms that play essential roles in maintaining skin health.
Gynecology
Understanding the vaginal microbiome is essential not only for treating gynecological conditions but also for preventing them and promoting overall well-being.
Gastroenterology
A comprehensive look at the gut microbiome’s structure, functions, and strategies for sustaining its health.
Gastroenterology
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) showing promise beyond C. difficile infection in conditions like IBD, IBS, and metabolic disorders.
Cardiology
New therapeutic strategies that rely on TLR4 inhibition can counteract the formation of coronary clots in people with cardiovascular disease.
Oncology
A new study published in Science claims that some gut microbes produce a metabolite that boosts the effect of a class of cancer drugs.
Industry
A new study helps to explain how nerve cells sense the microbes in the gut and how they coordinate their function with other tissues in the digestive tract.
Neuroscience
Researchers at UCC Ireland reviewed current knowledge on the microbiota-gut-brain relationship. Their work is published in Cell Metabolism.
Scientific research
There may be more genes in the gut and oral microbiome than previously thought, a large study of the human microbiome claims.
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
Scientists at KU Leuven summarized existing data on how SCFAs regulate the gut–brain axis, including the impact on the immune, endocrine and neural systems.
