Fiber found in bananas and garlic suppressed allergic reactions in mice.

A new metabolic model predicted short-chain fatty acid production based on an individual’s microbiome, diet, and prebiotic or probiotic input.

Researchers target the gut to see if they can treat depression with fewer side effects and less stigma than current drugs.

One of the most common bacterial infections, urinary tract infections, may have promising new therapeutics on the way.

Targeting a gut microbial enzyme could potentially improve treatment for type 2 diabetes.

With some out-of-the-box engineering, researchers have developed a nature-inspired strategy to turn sugar in packaged foods into gut-healthy fiber.

Since antibiotics tend to have negative side effects on the gut, researchers sought an alternative in an unexpected place: yogurt.

Researchers discovered that microbial short chain fatty acids influence drug seeking behavior in rats, revealing potential new therapeutic targets for cocaine use disorder.
