NewsNighttime pistachio snacking may reshape gut microbiome in prediabetic adults
A new study has determined that nighttime pistachio consumption affects gut bacteria in adults with prediabetes. The potential therapeutic implications of the findings may prove significant for people who are working to improve their metabolic health.

NewsGut microbes may help in recognizing and treating pancreatic cancer
A new international cooperation study indicates that in the future pancreatic cancer may be detected at an early stage with the help of gut microbes. Gut microbes may also offer solutions for therapy development.

NewsTwin study detects gut bacteria that play a role in development of multiple sclerosis
Researchers examined stool samples from 81 pairs of twins, and compared their composition between siblings. They identified 51 taxa—groups of microorganisms—that differed in abundance between twins with and without MS symptoms.

NewsGut bacteria may hold key to unlocking better cancer treatment
Scientists have discovered a range of microbial ‘biomarkers’ that could help to improve detection and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases (GIDs) such as gastric cancer (GC), colorectal cancer (CRC), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

NewsOral microbiota transmission partially mediates depression and anxiety in newlywed couples
Given that bacterial transmission can occur between spouses, a new study aimed to investigate whether the transmission of oral microbiota between newlywed couples mediates symptoms of depression and anxiety.

NewsLachnospiraceae could be key to successful fecal transplants
Fecal microbiota transplants are a magic bullet for patients with recurring infections from Clostridioides difficile (C. diff), but researchers are only beginning to understand why.
-
NewsGut bacteria combinations protect stem cell transplantation patients from dangerous immune reactions
Researchers have shown that graft versus host disease (GvHD) is less common when certain microbes are present in the gut. In the future, it may be possible to deliberately bring about this protective composition of the microbiome.

NewsGut microbiome variations could predict colorectal cancer risk
New research has identified significant variations in the gut microbiome of individuals who developed pre-cancerous colonic lesions, suggesting a potential connection between gut bacteria and the onset of colorectal lesions and cancers.

NewsBacteria treatment reduces insulin resistance and protects against diabetes
Researchers have discovered a type of gut bacteria that might help improve insulin resistance, and thus protect against the development of obesity and type-2 diabetes.

NewsStudy reveals the gut microbiome’s role in controlling the body’s thermostat
The average basal temperature of the human body has decreased since the 1860s for unknown reasons, but a new study points to the gut microbiome as a potential regulator of body temperature, both in health and during life-threatening infections.
