NewsEarly-life gut microbes may protect against diabetes, research in mice suggests
A research discovered that the colonization of a fungus called <i>Candida dubliniensis</i> in the early life gut microbiome of mice, is able to promote growth of pancreatic beta cells in the presence of macrophages to restore blood insulin level and improve metabolic functions, thus reducing risks of type 1 diabetes.

NewsLonger breastfeeding linked to blood-pressure lowering effects of certain infant gut bacteria
An observational study has found that infants who had more diverse bacteria in their gut had lower childhood blood pressure, and this protective association was stronger if they were breastfed for at least six months.

NewsStudy uncovers how low-carb diet drives colorectal cancer development
A new study suggests that a low-carbohydrate diet promotes the growth of a strain of E. coli that produces DNA-damaging colibactin, which drives genetic mutations and predisposes tumour development.

NewsA surprising link between Crohn’s disease and the Epstein-Barr virus
A longitudinal study has revealed strong and surprising evidence showing that exposure to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can lead to a higher risk of Crohn’s disease. Researchers are now trying to find out the mechanistic actions in their associations.

NewsSynthetic microbiome therapy suppresses bacterial infection without antibiotics
A synthetic microbiome therapy, tested in mice, protects against severe symptoms of a gut infection that is notoriously difficult-to-treat and potentially life threatening in humans. Clostridioides difficile is a bacterium that can cause severe diarrhea, abdominal pain and colon inflammation.

NewsWe feed gut microbes sugar, they make a compound we need
Gut microbes that were thought to feed exclusively on dietary fiber are also fed sugar from our guts, from which they produce short-chain fatty acids that are crucial to many body functions.

NewsResearchers uncover blood metabolites that may influence early childhood development
Researchers have identified small molecules in the blood that may impact early childhood development, showing how dietary exposures, early life experiences, and gut health can influence a child’s growth and cognitive milestones.

NewsUnexpected species-specific patterns in study of giraffe gut flora
The gut bacteria of giraffes are not primarily determined by what they eat, but by the species they belong to., according to a new study analysing the link between diet and gut flora in three giraffe species in Kenya. The study also provides new knowledge that can help secure the food supply of endangered giraffe species.
