“Here, we summarize recent studies investigating the crosstalk between gut-innervating neurons, resident immune cells, and epithelial cells at homeostasis and during infection, food allergy, and inflammatory bowel disease.”

The Cross-Talk Between Gut Microbiota and Lungs in Common Lung Diseases
“In chronic lung diseases and respiratory infections, alternations in the composition of the intestinal and airway microbiota are presented, commonly presenting as an outgrowth of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. A vital […]
Gut Microbiota Imbalance Promotes Onset of Colorectal Cancer
“A link between fecal dysbiosis (an imbalance in gut bacteria composition) and the genetic and epigenetic DNA signature in the animals’ tissues was identified using statistical tests. Mice who had […]
The diet-microbiome connection in inflammatory bowel disease
“The authors say the findings offer hope for better dietary therapies for IBD, perhaps ones that deliver “good” bacteria such as C. scindens or C. hiranonis while suppressing disease-associated species.”
Discovery of performance-enhancing bacteria in the human microbiome
A single microbe accumulating in the microbiome of elite athletes can enhance exercise performance in mice, paving the way to highly-validated performance-enhancing probiotics
Gut bacteria associated with chronic pain for first time
“We found that fibromyalgia and the symptoms of fibromyalgia—pain, fatigue and cognitive difficulties—contribute more than any of the other factors to the variations we see in the microbiomes of those […]
Human Microbiome Project reveals how microbiome is disrupted during IBD
“during periods of disease activity people with IBD had higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including adrenate and arachidonate. The researchers also discovered that nicotinuric acid was found almost exclusively […]
Study shows skin microbiome imbalance likely behind eczema flareups
“A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions across the U.S. has found a connection between a skin microbiome imbalance and eczema flareups.”
Curcumin and Resveratrol Alleviate Intestinal Inflammation in Weaned Piglets
“Our results suggested that curcumin and resveratrol can regulate weaned piglet gut microbiota, down-regulate the TLR4 signaling pathway, alleviate intestinal inflammation, and ultimately increase intestinal immune function”
Fasting-Mimicking Diet Modulates Microbiota and Promotes Intestinal Regeneration
“Our results indicate that FMD cycles cause a reduction in intestinal inflammation, increase intestinal stem cells (ISCs), and promote the expansion of beneficial gut microbiota, resulting in improvements in IBD-associated […]
