NewsGut microbiota and the gut–brain axis: Mechanisms and therapeutic hopes for brain diseases
A new study looks at the gut–brain axis (GBA), a sophisticated bidirectional communication network that integrates neural, immune, endocrine, and metabolic pathways to govern brain function and systemic homeostasis.

NewsHow bacteria may promote breast cancer
Researchers have discovered how certain pathogenic bacteria in gut and breast tissue can promote breast cancer development and progression by hijacking a key metabolic enzyme known as spermine oxidase (SMOX).

NewsNew research suggests gut bacteria may be linked to memory decline in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease
A new review is shedding light on the growing evidence that gut microbiome imbalances—known as dysbiosis—may play a key role in the development and progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease.

NewsTwo types of polymicrobial infections in chronic lung diseases
Chronic lung diseases are often accelerated and exacerbated by polymicrobial infections. An international study team led by MedUni Vienna has identified two types of these so-called dysbioses in cystic fibrosis. They display distinct ecology and are also likely to respond differently to treatment. The study was published in the journal ...
