NewsFish gut microbes might play a role in future skin care products
Researchers have found molecules from fish gut bacteria that can inhibit tyrosinase and collagenase enzymes in lab-grown mouse cells, making them promising anti-wrinkle and skin-brightening agents for future cosmetic products.

NewsGut bacteria influence responses to immunotherapy in patients with asbestos related cancer
A cancer study has found that certain gut bacteria may influence whether or not a patient’s immune system is successful in fighting mesothelioma, an aggressive form of cancer.

NewsRecreational tubing and swimming leave microbial impact on streams
Researchers found that swimming and tubing on a Colorado creek over a busy Labor Day weekend can have a short-term effect, increasing the levels of metals, human gut-associated microbes and substances from personal care products.

NewsNatural probiotic discovered in UK newborns’ microbiomes
Newborn babies have one of three pioneer bacteria in their gut shortly after birth, one of which could be used to develop new personalised infant therapeutic probiotics, researchers show.

NewsFirst narrow-spectrum antibiotic successfully eliminates Fusobacterium nucleatum in breakthrough study
Scientists found that FP 100 (Hygromycin A), a first-in-class, small molecule, narrow-spectrum antibiotic, successfully eradicates Fusobacterium nucleatum without harming the oral or gut microbiomes.

NewsWild and human-cared spotted dolphins harbor different gastrointestinal microbiomes
A recent study highlighted the significant role of food source variations in shaping the gut microbiome of spotted dolphins, even when they inhabit similar environments.
-
NewsResearchers develop tool that measures health of a person’s gut microbiome
A team of researchers has developed an innovative computational tool that analyzes the gut microbiome, a complex ecosystem of trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms within the digestive system, to provide insights into overall well-being.

NewsWaging war on ‘superbugs’ in aged care
A new study explores the link between the widespread use of antibiotics in residential aged care and the resulting antibiotic resistant bacteria in the gut that can be passed on to other residents
-
NewsNew study reveals metabolites key to faster intestinal recovery for cancer patients
A collaborative study has uncovered how metabolites drive communication between gut microbes and human cells to aid intestinal recovery after chemotherapy. This research offers new hope for enhancing cancer treatment outcomes.

NewsInternational consortium with NASA reveals hidden impact of spaceflight on gut health
Scientists have uncovered how spaceflight profoundly alters the gut microbiome, revealing previously unknown effects on host physiology that could shape the future of long-duration space missions.
-
NewsGut bacteria composition influences rotavirus vaccine efficacy
Gut microbiota can influence rotavirus vaccine responsiveness and sometimes result in children remaining prone to rotavirus infection and severe disease despite having been vaccinated.

OpinionDoes getting help for gut health have to be a waiting game?
Gut health issues impact millions of people every day, but how useful are the current UK government measures in improving patient outcomes?
-
NewsChlamydia can form reservoir in the intestine
Scientists investigating persistence tested the theory that the bacteria find a niche in the body where they are not yet vulnerable, that they form a permanent reservoir there and can become active again later.
-
NewsC-section antibiotics impact the infant microbiome far less than infant diet
A study has confirmed that although prophylactic antibiotics given ahead of a Caesarian section can cause subtle changes to the infant microbiome, they are much less significant than the impact of how the babies are fed.
-
NewsEarly life exposure to common chemical permanently disrupts gut microbiome
A study in mice finds that by significantly disrupting the gut microbiome, early life exposure to persistent organic pollutants influenced the development of metabolic disorder in adult mice.
-
NewsNew evidence for a connection between antibiotic use and autoimmune diseases
A new connection has been revealed between depletion of gut bacteria caused by antibiotics and development of autoimmune diseases. Clearance of dead cells involves not only local signals from within a tissue but also distant signals from other parts of the body.

NewsResearchers launch study into probiotics and prebiotics in bone health of older women
A clinical food trial will test whether a combination of probiotics and prebiotics will help in the management of bone health in women aged 60 years and above.
-
NewsDo smells prime our gut to fight off infection?
A recent study shows that the nematode C. elegans reacts to the odor of pathogenic bacteria by preparing its intestinal cells to withstand a potential onslaught.
-
NewsKeto diet reduces friendly gut bacteria and raises cholesterol levels
The ketogenic diet raises cholesterol levels, particularly in small and medium sized LDL particles, and alters gut microbiome composition, decreasing beneficial bacteria often found in probiotics, a new study reveals.

NewsBacterial gut diversity improves the athletic performance of racehorses
The composition of gut bacteria of thoroughbred racehorses at one-month-old can predict their future athletic performance, according to a new study.
