Study discovers how certain gut bacteria enhances cancer immunotherapy

A new research report, published in the journal Science, is describing how certain species of gut bacteria can enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. The animal study offers insights into a novel bacteria metabolite-immune pathway that could lea… Continue reading Study discovers how certain gut bacteria enhances cancer immunotherapy

How antibiotics and a high-fat diet can drive gut inflammation

Robust new research is suggesting a high-fat diet and antibiotic use work together synergistically to promote the type of gut microbiome imbalance that can lead to bowel inflammation. The study sheds light on the causal mechanisms by which environmenta… Continue reading How antibiotics and a high-fat diet can drive gut inflammation

Prediabetes associated with bacterial shifts in the gut microbiome

Researchers from the University of Gothenburg have for the first time studied the gut microbiome of subjects with prediabetes. The study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, reveals a person’s unique gut bacteria population could be used to predi… Continue reading Prediabetes associated with bacterial shifts in the gut microbiome

Gut bacteria signature reveals liver disease with over 90% accuracy

Science is continuing to shine a light on the links between gut bacteria and all kinds of health conditions, ranging from depression, to autoimmune disease, to Alzheimer’s and PTSD. A US research team working to further unravel its secrets has happened… Continue reading Gut bacteria signature reveals liver disease with over 90% accuracy

Age-related heart disease linked to gut bacteria metabolite

New research from the University of Colorado Boulder has offered some of the clearest evidence to date showing how the gut microbiome produces a metabolite that, over time, contributes to age-related declines in cardiovascular health.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Age-related heart disease linked to gut bacteria metabolite

Common food additive found to disrupt gut bacteria, cause inflammation

New research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is adding weight to a growing body of evidence suggesting the food additive titanium dioxide, also known as E171, can disrupt the gut microbiome, leading to colonic inflammation.Continue Reading… Continue reading Common food additive found to disrupt gut bacteria, cause inflammation

IBD and obesity affirmed as serious dementia risk factors

Two new studies only confirm associations between IBD and obesity and dementia, and do not provide evidence to suggest a direct causal link

Two new studies are offering strong evidence that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and obesity are serious risk factors for developing dementia in later life. The studies are observational, and cannot determine casualty, but they both build on prior research reaching similar conclusions.

Parkinson’s linked to overabundance of opportunistic gut pathogens

Research continues to shine a light on the role gut bacteria might play in Parkinson's disease

As a disease without a cure or means of prevention, there is a lot we don’t know about Parkinson’s and the way it takes hold in the human body. One school of thought is that it actually begins in the gut, and a new study has strengthened these ties by identifying a type of overabundant pathogen in the guts of Parkinson’s disease patients, a novel finding that opens up new lines of enquiry in understanding the root causes of the condition.
