An impressively rigorous new study, led by researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, is shedding light on a century-old mystery. The study describes how bacteria in the gut can metabolize cholesterol at levels high enough to improve a pers… Continue reading How gut bacteria can break down cholesterol to improve cardiac health
Building on the growing link between poor oral health and gastrointestinal disease, new research from the University of Michigan has homed in on the possible mechanisms by which periodontitis can exacerbate the gut inflammation seen in patients with in… Continue reading New study demonstrates how oral bacteria can amplify gut inflammation
Recent research is continuing to illuminate the role gut bacteria can play in all sorts of health outcomes, uncovering its ties with depression, obesity and various autoimmune diseases, just to offer a few examples. A new study has delved into their im… Continue reading New molecules rebalance gut bacteria to cut cholesterol in mice
An incredibly focused study, led by researchers at the University of Virginia, has demonstrated the profound influence diet and gut bacteria has on the effectiveness and toxicity of drugs used in chemotherapy. Using a roundworm as a simplified microbio… Continue reading Diet and gut bacteria fundamentally influence cancer drug toxicity
A milestone study published in the journal Nature Communications is offering the first demonstration of a direct causal relationship between the gut microbiome and a human neurovascular disease. Verifying prior animal studies, the research suggests a m… Continue reading Study finds hemorrhagic brain disease caused by gut bacteria metabolite
A comprehensive new study, led by scientists from UC San Francisco, is offering robust new insights into the way a ketogenic diet can influence the gut microbiome, and subsequently result in broader health benefits.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading Study shows how a ketogenic diet positively alters the gut microbiome
A new study, led by scientists from Harvard University, is offering more compelling evidence of a link between the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the gut microbiome. One researcher described the discovery as “remarkable”, after … Continue reading ALS and gut bacteria linked in “remarkable” new Harvard study
Altering the gut microbiome by transplanting the stool contents from a healthy donor is emerging as a promising way to treat a variety of conditions, including everything from autism to inflammatory bowel disease to cancer. Scientists looking to this t… Continue reading Viruses gleaned from healthy feces fight obesity in mice
New research from an international team of scientists has tracked a compelling series of connections between the gut microbiome and memory. Using a novel mouse model engineered to simulate the genetic diversity of a human population, the study illustra… Continue reading New molecular insights into how gut bacteria influences memory
It was just a couple of years ago that we heard how scientists had used soybean waste to produce a healthy (and supposedly tasty) probiotic drink. Now, they’ve done the same thing with unsold bread that would otherwise be discarded.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Unsold bread used to make gut-boosting probiotic beverage
