NewsScientists discover links between Alzheimer’s disease and gut microbiota
Researchers have discovered the link between the gut microbiota and Alzheimer’s disease. For the first time, researchers have found that Alzheimer’s symptoms can be transferred to a healthy young organism via the gut microbiota, confirming its role in the disease.

NewsAutism-specific metabolic pathways linked to gut microbes
A reanalysis of previous studies has identified autism-specific metabolic pathways associated with particular human gut microbes - these were also seen elsewhere in autistic individuals, from their brain-associated gene expression profiles to their diets.

NewsAltered gut bacteria may be early sign of Alzheimer’s disease
People in the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease - after brain changes have begun but before cognitive symptoms become apparent - harbour an assortment of bacteria in their intestines that differs from the gut bacteria of healthy people.

NewsME linked to changes in the gut microbiome and metabolites
Two studies have found that myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is associated with reduced levels in the gastrointestinal microbiome of microbes known to produce the fatty acid butyrate, disruptions that could explain in part how the immune system becomes disrupted in people with ME/CFS.
