An impressive new study from scientists at the University of Utah has described how an impaired immune system can alter the composition of the gut microbiome resulting in metabolic disease and obesity. Demonstrated in mouse experiments, the r… Continue reading New research uncovers compelling link between gut bacteria, obesity and the immune system
The over-abundance or lack of certain types of gut bacteria has been linked to everything from depression to heart disease to childhood asthma. Non-invasively determining which microbes make up a person’s “gut microbiome,” however, can be dif… Continue reading Microbiome-assessing capsule gathers gut bacteria
For several years researchers have suspected a relationship between the gut microbiome and the onset of childhood asthma and allergies. New research, led by scientists from UC San Francisco, is describing for the first time how a specific com… Continue reading Molecule produced by gut bacteria increases childhood allergy and asthma risk
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease, is thought to be caused by a relatively equal balance of genetic and environmental factors. A new study, led by scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science, has d… Continue reading New research suggests gut bacteria affects the progression of ALS
A compelling new study has described a novel association between viral infections, neurodegenerative disease, the gut microbiome, and our immune system. The research suggests gut bacteria disruptions can allow harmful viruses to trigger neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Fascinating new research suggests malnutrition in children can be better treated by therapeutic foods designed to boost and repair the gut microbiome, instead of more traditional energy- and nutrition-maximized supplements. A clinical trial t… Continue reading Gut-microbiome-boosting diet designed to better help malnourished children
Why do some extremely premature babies fail to grow while others prosper, despite similar diets? New research suggests these metabolic differences are underpinned by specific gut microbiome alterations that leave some preterm infants in a phy… Continue reading Gut bacteria alterations may be responsible for growth failure in preterm babies
The over-prescription of antibiotics is a major problem in the world today, leading to the dramatic rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. New research led by scientists from the Francis Crick Institute in London is suggesting not only are an… Continue reading How antibiotics can make flu infections worse by wiping out important gut bacteria
A team of researchers from the Medical University of Warsaw in Poland has proposed a novel, non-invasive test for screening and monitoring gut diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The technique uses a tiny blood and stool … Continue reading A non-invasive test for early detection and monitoring of bowel diseases
In a first-of-its-kind human trial, a team of researchers administered a specific strain of gut bacteria to overweight and obese volunteers to evaluate its benefits for cardiometabolic health. The study intriguingly discovered a pasteurized f… Continue reading Human study homes in on a specific gut bacteria to provide cardiometabolic benefits
