A trio of recent studies are uncovering compelling new insights into the role gut bacteria play in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). From discovering higher than average bacterial loads in tissue samples from diabetes patients, to a newly disco… Continue reading Gut microbiome studies reveal new bacterial links with diabetes
For several years researchers have been documenting distinct associations between gut microbiome patterns and instances of bowel cancer. A new study is now offering the first direct causal evidence linking particular bacteria with the development of ca… Continue reading Toxin produced by common gut bacteria linked to bowel cancer
New Stanford University research has homed in on two specific gut bacteria-produced metabolites that may protect against the intestinal inflammation associated with diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: … Continue reading Gut bacteria metabolites reveal new intestinal inflammation treatment
Two newly published studies are offering novel insights into the relationship between our diets, gut microbiome, and general health. One study is suggesting a Mediterranean diet can reconfigure gut bacteria to promote healthy aging, while a second stud… Continue reading Two studies highlight effects of diet and microbiome on heart and aging
A new tool has been developed that can effectively predict a person’s chronological age based on a microbiome sample. The tool, developed in collaboration between UC San Diego and IBM researchers, is most accurate at predicting a person’s age when usin… Continue reading AI developed to predict age based on gut, skin and mouth microbiomes
New research led by a team of scientists in Canada has demonstrated how a high-fat diet can disrupt levels of an intestinal immune cell known to help regulate microbial populations in the gut. The study describes how low levels of this molecu… Continue reading Study finds key gut immune molecule links obesity, the microbiome, and metabolic disorders
A team of US scientists is embarking on an immense project to catalog all the genes in the collective human microbiome. In the team’s first published study an astounding 46 million genes have been chronicled from just 3,500 human microbiome s… Continue reading More genes in the human microbiome than stars in the observable universe
A remarkable new study from scientists at Stanford University has revealed thousands of previously undiscovered small proteins produced by bacteria in the human microbiome. Almost all of these newly described proteins serve unknown functions … Continue reading Incredible Stanford study discovers thousands of novel proteins produced by human microbiome
A new study suggests simple vibration therapy can beneficially alter the gut microbiome, and reduce diabetes-related inflammation. The research at this point has only been verified in mouse models, and prior human vibration therapy studies in… Continue reading Mouse study suggests vibration therapy can reduce inflammation and improve the microbiome
Antibiotics are one of the most important medical marvels of the modern age, letting us easily treat infections that would have once been lethal. The problem is they aren’t picky, blasting good and bad bacteria alike and messing up the delica… Continue reading Selective antibiotics target specific bacteria to spare the microbiome
