NewsScientists unveil cholangiocyte organoid system for Cryptosporidium parvum cultivation
Researchers have established a culture system for the cultivation of Cryptosporidium parvum derived from mouse and bovine cholangiocyte organoids (Chol-orgs). Source: EPA/H.D.A. Lindquist Immunofluorescence image of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts, purified from murine fecal material. The study, published in hLife, is led by Prof. Feng (College of Veterinary ...

NewsUncovering ‘Blockbuster T cells’ in the gut wins major prize
Kazuki Nagashima developed a method with which to zero in on individual gut bacterium’s impacts on T cells. His work showed that – contrary to what has been thought – some T cells in the gut can interact with multiple bacteria.

NewsScientists explore bird breeding behaviour and microbiomes in the radioactive Chornobyl Exclusion Zone
New research finds surprising differences in the diets and gut microbiomes of songbirds living in the radiation contaminated areas of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine.

NewsResearchers awarded $308k grant to study the role of gut microbiomes to improve outcomes in dystonia
Scientists are undertaking a study that will investigate the role of the gut microbiome in dystonia, a movement disorder of abnormal postures and involuntary twisting or repetitive movements, to improve neurobehavioral outcomes.

NewsChanging the gut microbiome boosts health outcomes for people newly diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer
Researchers have developed a novel use of biotherapeutic product CBM588 in the treatment of cancer; new research suggests the agent adjusts people’s microbiome, possibly leading to enhanced effectiveness of FDA-approved cancer immunotherapies.

NewsResearchers harness intratumoral microbiome against colorectal cancer
Scientists have established a microbiota-targeted drug delivery system that exhibits high efficiency in colorectal cancer targeting and colon retention.
-
NewsNew findings may fix the replicability crisis in microbiome research
Scientists report that daily fluctuations in the gut alter the microbiome so significantly that different bugs populate it in the morning and in the evening.

NewsChemotherapy disrupts gut microbiome in patients with breast cancer
Patients treated with chemotherapy who showed decreases in cognitive performance also had reductions in the diversity of their gut microbiome, a new study has found.

NewsSpecific bacteria in your gut are involved in compulsive eating and obesity
Researchers have identified specific bacteria in the gut that are associated with both mice and humans developing an addiction to food that can lead to obesity. They have also identified bacteria that play a beneficial role in preventing food addiction.

NewsMicrorobot-packed pill shows promise for treating inflammatory bowel disease in mice
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a pill that releases microscopic robots, or microrobots, into the colon to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The experimental treatment, given orally, has shown success in mice.

NewsBiting flies on dairy farms can spread bovine mastitis
A study has identified Stomoxys flies (also known as stable flies) as carriers of pathogenic bacteria that cause bovine mastitis.

NewsShould you eat more dietary fiber? Depends on your gut microbes
Nutritionists generally advise everyone to eat more dietary fiber, but a new study suggests that its effects on health can vary from person to person. The findings indicate that recommendations should be tailored to each individual’s gut microbiome.

NewsStudy links gut microbiome changes to increased risk of type 2 diabetes
Researchers have found that specific species and strains of bacteria are linked to changes in the functioning of the gut microbiome and a person’s risk of type 2 diabetes.
-
NewsDietary fibers make our gut bacteria behave healthily
Researchers have discovered that dietary fibres play a crucial role in determining the balance between the production of healthy and harmful substances by influencing the behaviour of bacteria in the colon.
-
NewsMicrobe and prebiotic team up to work against food allergies
New research reveals a mutually beneficial relationship between an unassuming microbial species and the prebiotic lactulose – together, they encourage the production of an important metabolite known for its positive influence on gut health.

NewsNew approach to measuring ‘healthy microbiomes’ in nature and the gut
Focusing on four common diseases – diabetes, heart disease, depression and bowel cancer – new research provides insights into the importance of a healthy microbiome balance in the human gut and in the environment.

NewsResilience shaped by activity in the gut microbiome and brain
Resilient people exhibit neural activity in the brain regions associated with improved cognition and regulating of emotions, and are more mindful and better at describing their feelings - but also exhibit gut microbiome activity linked to a healthy gut.

NewsFewer good gut bacteria increase the risk of serious infection
Researchers followed more than 10,000 people for 6 years. More than 600 people who had less healthy intestinal flora developed a serious infection, with this leading in some cases to death.
