NewsUnderweight and unbalanced: Gut microbial diversity in underweight Japanese women
A study of underweight Japanese women reveals they showed reduced gut microbiota diversity and enrichment of taxa associated with inflammatory tendencies. The findings suggest that gut health is as important as caloric intake when it comes to addressing low body weight.

NewsHelping me, inhibiting you: Analysis of interactions between intestinal microbiota
Researchers have analyzed the interactions between two bacteria that make up intestinal microbiota. While Faecalibacterium prausnitzii inhibits the growth of Fusobacterium varium, F. varium promotes the growth of F. prausnitzii.

NewsImmune tolerance to gut microbes is initiated by a key bacterial sensor
A study has found that the body’s immune “tolerance” to gut microbes depends on an ancient bacterial-sensing protein called STING—normally considered a trigger for inflammation.

NewsA combination of exercise and omega-3 reduces the severity of tooth root infections
Rats that exercised and took fatty acid supplements responded better to bacteria and the inflammatory process of apical periodontitis, which can occur when caries reach the root canal and cause an infection.

NewsTuberculous meningitis: study shows that metabolism drives mortality
A new study suggests that dysregulated β-oxidation may be an important and potentially modifiable contributor to mortality in tuberculous meningitis.
-
NewsHeart rhythm disorder traced to bacterium lurking in our gums
A new study finds that a gum disease bacterium can slip into the bloodstream and infiltrate the heart. There, it drives scar tissue buildup—known as fibrosis—distorting the heart’s architecture, interfering with electrical signals, and raising the risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib).

NewsGut bacterium IDed as key player in healing the colon
Researchers have identified Clostridium scindens, a bacterium that converts primary bile acids into 7α-dehydroxylated bile acids, as a key player in gut healing. Supplementing the gut with this bacterium could improve recovery from colonic injury.
