NewsBetter together: Gut microbiome communities’ resilience to drugs
Many human medications can directly inhibit the growth and alter the function of the bacteria that constitute our gut microbiome. EMBL Heidelberg researchers have now discovered that this effect is reduced when bacteria form communities.

NewsDietary fibre powers the multivitamin factory in your gut
A study has uncovered how dietary fibres can enhance the availability of gut microbiome-produced B vitamins to the host to impact immune health.

NewsStudy reveals link between microbiome and aggression
A new study has unveiled significant evidence connecting the gut microbiome to aggressive behavior in mice. The research explores how disruptions in the microbiome, particularly due to antibiotic use in early life, can lead to increased aggression.
-
NewsResearchers awarded $3 million grant to explore gut health
A $3 million grant has been awarded to investigate the energy generating processes of gut Bacteroides and how they impact our well-being.
-
NewsScientists ID combination of bacterial strains that could treat antibiotic-resistant gut infections
Researchers have isolated 18 bacterial strains from stool from healthy people that could potentially be an effective treatment for antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in patients with chronic inflammatory intestinal conditions.
-
News‘Transient’ gut bacteria may affect health and guide diet choices
‘Transient’ populations of gut bacteria may contribute to the development of chronic liver disease and diabetes, but a personalised diet plan could lessen the risk, new research suggests.

NewsBreastfeeding is crucial to shaping infant’s microbes, lowering risk of asthma
A study shows that breastfeeding beyond three months supports the gradual maturation of the microbiome in the infant’s digestive system and nasal cavity, the upper part of the respiratory tract.
-
NewsNanozymes alleviate depression in rats by restoring gut microbiome
Researchers developed antioxidant carbon dot nanozymes (synthetic enzyme-like substances) that reduced oxidative stress, rebalanced gut microbes and alleviated stress-induced depression in rats.

NewsScientists team up to track gut-brain connection in athletes with concussion
120 athletes are to take part in a concussion study with researchers to identify reliable and novel concussion biomarkers in their gut microbiomes in ways that standard brain imaging cannot.
-
NewsComputer-aided biology can be deployed to develop tailored microbe communities
Researchers inspired by natural lichens want to develop the microbial networking manifested here as an example for future applications, as a contribution toward establishing interdisciplinary methods and technologies for CO2-negative processes.
-
NewsGut microbiome influences location and type of immune cells
Researchers have found that different anatomical sections of the gastrointestinal tracts of mice carry different compositions of microbial communities, and the specific makeup of the microbiota can influence the type and abundance of immune cells in any particular region.
-
NewsAntibiotic usage can damage the protective mucus layer in the gut
Researchers have found that a history of repeated antibiotic use causes defects in the normally protective mucus barrier of the gut, due to antibiotic-driven alterations in the microbiota.
-
NewsLandmark study reveals how antibiotics contribute to inflammatory bowel disease risk
Researchers have uncovered crucial insights into how antibiotic use increases the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), demonstrating that antibiotics interfere with the protective mucus layer in the intestine.
-
NewsNew intestinal disease screening method can support horse health
Researchers are developing a promising method to support the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in horses. This study is the first to show an association between the gut microbiota composition and chronic types of IBD in horses.
-
NewsFish gut microbes might play a role in future skin care products
Researchers have found molecules from fish gut bacteria that can inhibit tyrosinase and collagenase enzymes in lab-grown mouse cells, making them promising anti-wrinkle and skin-brightening agents for future cosmetic products.
-
NewsGut bacteria influence responses to immunotherapy in patients with asbestos related cancer
A cancer study has found that certain gut bacteria may influence whether or not a patient’s immune system is successful in fighting mesothelioma, an aggressive form of cancer.
-
NewsRecreational tubing and swimming leave microbial impact on streams
Researchers found that swimming and tubing on a Colorado creek over a busy Labor Day weekend can have a short-term effect, increasing the levels of metals, human gut-associated microbes and substances from personal care products.
-
NewsNatural probiotic discovered in UK newborns’ microbiomes
Newborn babies have one of three pioneer bacteria in their gut shortly after birth, one of which could be used to develop new personalised infant therapeutic probiotics, researchers show.
-
NewsFirst narrow-spectrum antibiotic successfully eliminates Fusobacterium nucleatum in breakthrough study
Scientists found that FP 100 (Hygromycin A), a first-in-class, small molecule, narrow-spectrum antibiotic, successfully eradicates Fusobacterium nucleatum without harming the oral or gut microbiomes.

NewsWild and human-cared spotted dolphins harbor different gastrointestinal microbiomes
A recent study highlighted the significant role of food source variations in shaping the gut microbiome of spotted dolphins, even when they inhabit similar environments.
