7 February 2019 - MedicalXpress - Researchers find differences in gut microbiomes in people with schizophrenia
Date: 07/02/2019
Study finds that the gut microbiomes of people with schizophrenia differ to those of people without the mental disorder.
4 February 2019 - Science Daily - More than 100 new gut bacteria discovered in human microbiome
Date: 04/02/2019
Scientists working on the gut microbiome have discovered and isolated more than 100 completely new species of bacteria from healthy people's intestines. The study has created the most comprehensive collection of human intestinal bacteria to date. The new resource will help researchers worldwide to investigate how our microbiome keeps us healthy, and its role in disease.
29 January 2019 - Science Daily - 'Small meets smaller': Dietary nanoparticulates impact gut microbiome
Date: 01/02/2019
The intestinal microbiome is not only key for food processing but an accepted co-determinant for various diseases. Researchers have now identified effects of nanoparticles on intestinal microorganisms.
22 January 2019 - The Conversation - Are microbes causing your milk allergy?
Date: 28/01/2019
Several years ago, my research group, together with a collaborator in Italy, Roberto Berni Canani, was comparing the bacteria present in infants with a diagnosed cow’s milk allergy to those without. We found some remarkable differences between the two groups. This led us to wonder whether the different bacteria present in each of the two groups are sufficient to protect against allergy. And if so, could we figure out why?
22 January 2019 - MedicalXpress - Breastmilk sugars differ in pregnant women on probiotics
Date: 22/01/2019
The complex sugars found in human breastmilk, long believed to be fixed in their composition, may change in women who are taking probiotics, according to new research.
14 January 2019 - MedicalXpress - Intestinal bacteria from healthy infants prevent food allergy
Date: 14/01/2019
New research shows that healthy infants have intestinal bacteria that prevent the development of food allergies.
3 January 2019 - MedicalXpress - Metabolic syndrome patients need more vitamin C to break cycle of antioxidant depletion
Date: 03/01/2019
A higher intake of vitamin C is crucial for metabolic syndrome patients trying to halt a potentially deadly cycle of antioxidant disruption and health-related problems, an Oregon State University researcher says.
Sugar targets gut microbe linked to lean and healthy people
Date: 18/12/2018
Sugar can silence a key protein required for colonization by a gut bacterium associated with lean and healthy individuals, according to a new Yale study.
11 December 2018 - MedicalXpress - These bacteria may be the key to treating clinical depression
Date: 11/12/2018
Scientists estimate that we share our bodies with 38 trillion organisms that play an integral part in keeping us healthy and making us who we are. They crawl across our skin, cling to our intestines, and generally call our bodies home.
5 December 2018 - Science Daily - Modeling the microbiome
Date: 05/12/2018
The gut microbiome - the world of microbes that inhabit the human intestinal tract - has captured the interest of scientists and clinicians for its critical role in health. However, parsing which of those microbes are responsible for effects on our wellbeing remains a mystery.
4 December 2018 - MedicalXpress - Microbial-based treatment reverses autism spectrum social deficits in mouse models
Date: 04/12/2018
Researchers report that administration of the bacterium Lactobacillus reuteri could lead to specific changes in the brain, holding hope for the development of novel therapies for neurological disorders such as autism, through modulating specific microbes in the gut.
How bacteria and breastmilk could be our best allies against allergy and asthma
Date: 26/11/2018
Researcher breaks new ground with findings on how breastmilk affects the baby's gut flora.
16 November 2018 - MedicalXpress - A low-gluten, high-fiber diet may be healthier than gluten-free
Date: 16/11/2018
When healthy people eat a low-gluten and fibre-rich diet compared with a high-gluten diet, they experience less intestinal discomfort including less bloating. Researchers at University of Copenhagen show that this is due to changes of the composition and function of gut bacteria.
1 November 2018 - The Conversation - Moving to another country could mess with your gut bacteria
Date: 01/11/2018
Moving to a new country can be challenging, not just for us but also for our bacteria. A compelling new study published in Cell suggests migration between certain countries can profoundly affect the bacteria that live in our digestive systems, with important implications for our health.
29 October 2018 - MedicalXpress - Breast milk, formula nurture similarities, differences in gut microbes
Date: 29/10/2018
A new study finds that while formula and breast milk encourage the growth of similar kinds of bacteria in babies' digestive tracts, the bacteria work differently. The health implications of these differences are as yet unclear.
29 October 2018 - Nutraingredients - Big data insights driving funding for EU microbiome research - MyNewGut Project
Date: 29/10/2018
The number of health-related microbiome projects has almost doubled in the last three years, with EU funding almost twice that of non-health related gut research. "Personalised nutrition" is one of the endgames.
