NewsGut microbiome changes linked to onset of clinically evident rheumatoid arthritis
Changes in the make-up of the gut microbiome are linked to the onset of clinically evident rheumatoid arthritis in those at risk of the disease because of genetic, environmental, or immunological factors, suggests a new study.

NewsStudy expands understanding of how fecal microbiota transplants may work to restore gut health
In a novel study that identified male chromosome genetic material in the intestines of female patients undergoing fecal transplants, researchers say they have significantly expanded scientific understanding of how some of these transplants may succeed and work.
-
NewsScientists discover how specific E. coli bacteria drive colon cancer
Scientists have uncovered how certain E. coli bacteria in the gut promote colon cancer by binding to intestinal cells and releasing a DNA-damaging toxin.
-
NewsResearchers hope to develop novel drugs for gastrointestinal disorders by fermenting feces
In a new study, researchers have been cultivating ‘good viruses’ from feces. The goal is to replace fecal capsules now being used in so-called fecal transplants and improve this life-saving treatment through standardization.

NewsGut microbes play a key role in regulating stress responsiveness throughout the day
A pioneering study has uncovered the vital role that gut microbiota plays in regulating stress responses by interacting with the body’s circadian rhythms.
-
NewsExperts recommend considering dietary factors in probiotics and prebiotics research
A new Perspective paper finds that, while diet is a major determinant of gut microbiome composition and function, it has rarely been incorporated as a variable in research on the efficacy of probiotics and prebiotics.

NewsAI tackles huge problem of antimicrobial resistance in intensive care
Artificial intelligence (AI) can provide same-day assessments of antimicrobial resistance for patients in intensive care – critical to preventing life-threatening sepsis.
-
NewsInfant gut microbiota development predicts future health
Infants’ gut microbiota development follows one of five predictable trajectories, significantly influenced by infant exposures, according to a new study. These are strong indicators of later health outcomes, including allergies, growth patterns, and infections.

NewsAntibiotics and antifungals may slightly affect Parkinson’s risk, study finds
A study has found that people who took multiple courses of penicillin antibiotics had a modestly lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a surprising finding that researchers say highlights the complex relationship between bacteria in the digestive tract and brain health.

NewsTire-wear particles disrupt gut-liver function in aquatic organisms
Researchers have uncovered the adverse health effects of tire-wear particles (TWPs) on aquatic organisms. The study focused on the hepatotoxicity of TWP leachates, revealing significant impacts on the gut-liver axis and oxidative stress levels in test organisms.
-
NewsStudy reveals how our gut cells detect harmful invaders
Researchers hve found that the GPR31 path in ‘gut surveillance’ cells detects bacterial metabolites and triggers immune responses, opening new possibilities for drug development, vaccines, and probiotics to fight infections.
-
NewsBeyond gut health: prebiotics promise mental wellness
Research shows a prebiotic supplement can reduce inflammation. This could help with symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression in people with metabolic syndrome.
-
NewsResearchers reveal how mucin O-Glycans and food-derived glycoproteins link diet and gut bacteria
A research team investigates how mucin, a major component of the gut lining, and food-derived glycoproteins influence the growth of the bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila, revealing the complex interactions between diet and gut bacteria.
-
NewsResearchers help redefine core microbiome, opening new chapter in precision health
A collaborative study introduces a novel method for identifying the crucial set of gut microbes commonly found in humans and essential for health.
