A new study led by researchers from UT Southwestern is suggesting a diet high in sugar may contribute to the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The study found mice fed high levels of glucose displayed gut microbiome alterations that contribute… Continue reading High-sugar diet can damage gut microbiome, increase IBD risk
A new study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Science Advances, is shedding light on the potential link between autism and gut microbiome impairments. The research reveals a mechanism by which altered gut bacteria populations can lead to abnormal… Continue reading New evidence links gut bacteria alterations to autism
A new study investigating the relationship between the gut microbiome, genetics, and multiple sclerosis, is suggesting bacteria certainly plays a role in modulating the effects of the disease but whether that role is positive or negative may be fundame… Continue reading Multiple sclerosis and the microbiome: Study suggests complex relationship
An intriguing new animal study, led by researchers from the University of Southern California, is suggesting a hunger-regulating hormone secreted from the stomach may also influence memory and cognitive function. The study builds on a growing body of r… Continue reading Gut-brain study reveals impact of hunger hormone on memory
Scientists from the UK and Italy have found fecal transplants from old mice to young mice result in the younger animals displaying learning and memory impairments. The findings build on a growing body of research linking age-related cognitive decline with gut microbiome changes.

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have developed a test that can predict a person’s general health status by measuring the levels of 50 gut microbial species. Called the Gut Microbiome Health Index (GMHI), the formula does not diagnose specific diseases a… Continue reading New Microbiome Health Index provides a “credit score for your gut”
A compelling new study, led by researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago, has identified a complex relationship between disturbed sleep patterns, elevated blood pressure, and disruptions to the gut microbiome. The robust animal study sugge… Continue reading Link between bad sleep, high blood pressure, and gut microbiome uncovered
A first-of-its-kind Phase 1 clinical trial, from researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University, has found fecal transplants may be helpful in reducing drinking behaviors in those suffering severe alcohol use disorder (AUD). The results are preliminar… Continue reading Fecal transplants show promise treating alcoholism in first human trial
Researchers from Ohio State University have created the first catalog of viral populations known to inhabit the human gut. Called the Gut Virome Database, the study suggests each person’s gut viral population is as unique as their fingerprints.Continue… Continue reading World-first database catalogs 1,000s of viruses in our gut microbiome
The bacteria that are present in a person’s gastrointestinal tract can reveal a lot about their health. A newly developed capsule could provide even more information, by gathering bacteria from specific locations within that tract.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Swallowable capsule gathers bacteria from the gut
