NewsMicrobes rewrite the rules of cancer immunotherapy by triggering immunogenic cell death
A new study reveals that microbiota and their metabolites can effectively reprogram immunogenic cell death (ICD), a unique form of cell death that activates the body‘s immune system against tumors, transforming immunologically “cold” therapy-resistant tumors into “hot” responsive ones.

NewsStudy uncovers gut microbial patterns linked to Alzheimer’s disease in Puerto Rico - even showing up long before diagnosis
A new investigation into the links between Alzheimer’s disease and the gut microbiome in Puerto Rico has found specific gut microbial patterns associated with cognitive decline, disease severity and genetic risk factors.

NewsNew study links gut bacteria to immunotherapy success in melanoma patients
Researchers have identified specific gut bacteria linked to better responses to cancer immunotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma. Patients who responded well to treatment were more likely to have a specific type of gut bacteria called Faecalibacterium.

NewsGut microbiota: implications in pathogenesis and potential therapeutic target in primary biliary cholangitis
A new review synthesizes current evidence on gut microbiota dysbiosis in PBC, elucidates its pathogenic mechanisms, and explores its potential as both a diagnostic biomarker and a novel therapeutic target.

NewsGroundbreaking review reveals how gut microbiota influences sleep disorders through the brain-gut axis
A comprehensive review illuminates the intricate connections between gut microbiota and sleep regulation, establishing the microbiota-gut-brain axis as a critical pathway in understanding and potentially treating sleep disorders.

NewsCan a healthy gut microbiome help prevent childhood stunting?
Researchers find gut microbiome turnover in children is linked to poor growth outcomes, pointing to microbiome-based diagnostics for malnutrition.

NewsNew study finds distinct city-specific gut microbiota linked to diet
A new study shows that the human gut microbiota can pinpoint whether an adult lives in Wuhan or Shiyan, two cities 500 km apart in China’s Hubei Province, with 94 % accuracy. This microbial signature is strongly linked to each city’s characteristic diet.

NewsRestricted diet triggers individualized microbiome shifts without community convergence
Scientists who carried out a tightly controlled dietary intervention known as the “Oatmeal Study” found that while participants’ diets became nearly identical, their microbiomes did not follow suit.

NewsMicrobial proteins reveal chemical signatures of body sites and inflammation
A new study shows that protein sequences associated with microbial communities in the human gut have uniquely low stoichiometric water content and undergo counterintuitive chemical shifts toward chemically reduced states during inflammation.

NewsFeeding your good gut bacteria through fibre in diet may boost body against infections
Researchers who used computational approaches to analyse the gut microbiome composition of over 12,000 peoplefrom their stool samples found that a person’s microbiome ‘signature’ can predict whether their gut is likely to be colonised by Enterobacteriaceae.

NewsChildren’s gut bacteria - and a superfood grain - may hold the key to diarrhea treatment
Diarrhea claims the lives of 500,000 children a year in low- and middle-income countries. Now researchers have linked chronic diarrhea to a specific pattern of gut bacteria, a discovery that could pave the way for new treatments.

NewsNonalcoholic fatty liver disease: changes in gut microbiota and blood lipids
This study aimed to explore differences in the gut microbial community and blood lipids between normal livers and those affected by NAFLD using 16S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid sequencing.

NewsGood friendships may make for a healthier gut microbiome
Researchers have found that sociable monkeys have more beneficial gut bacteria and fewer harmful gut bacteria.
