Gut microbiome News

A groundbreaking study reveals that specific bacteria in the mouth and gut may accelerate cognitive decline in Parkinson's, opening doors to early diagnosis and treatment.

Gut microbiome plays a significant role in the onset of multiple sclerosis The microbiome in the gut comprises trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms Researchers identified gut bacteria that had significantly different levels of abundance in patients with MS

The study showed that infants whose gut microbes were sampled during the pandemic had lower alpha diversity of the gut microbiome, meaning that there were fewer species of bacteria in the gut. 

Certain gut bacteria, including one required for a healthy gut microbiome, differ between people who develop HIV infection and those who do not, according to new UCLA-led research. The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal eBioMedicine, suggest that the gut microbiome may influence one`s risk of HIV infection.

Eating flavonoid-rich foods like berries, apples, pears and drinking red wine can lower systolic blood pressure levels It can also improve greater diversity in the gut microbiome

The researchers also sought to identify biological features associated with undesirable arterial blood pressure changes The results were published in Physiological Genomics. Using rats, the researcher disrupted their sleep periods This was initial research, and studies will continue to examine pathways involving the gut microbiome and metabolites produced by gut bacteria

Researchers linked specific genes in an animal - in this case, a mouse - to the presence and abundance of specific microbes in its gut.

Monitoring social behaviour of wild chimpanzees, researchers have found that being gregarious may help transmit beneficial microbes and increase diversity of gut bacteria.

 Biologists at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have for the first time identified in detail how some of our most common intestinal bacteria interact during metabolism.
