microbiome

Genetically engineered bacteria could help diagnose or monitor gut diseases.

Scientists identified a species of Subdoligranulum that may drive disease.

Scientists use metagenomics to explore the viral community inhabiting the human body.

Gut bacteria tailored to a child’s diet may help treat malnutrition.

Studying complex gut microbial biology reveals insights into the progression of brain disorders.

Researchers face more obstacles studying the lung microbiome than the gut microbiome. One big hurdle is collecting lung samples. In a new study, researchers used an invasive technique to collect fluid from children’s lungs and discovered how the lung’s microbial makeup affects stem cell transplant outcomes.

Learn how scientists use cells from real human intestine to assess gut toxicity and screen drugs.

Pre-screening of the gut microbiome may lead to a more personalized approach to treating intestinal parasitic worm infections, leading to better treatment outcomes and a decreased risk for drug resistance.  

Gut microbes produce a metabolite that inhibits the conversion of fatty acids into energy and leads to weight gain in mice.

Microbiome researchers seek to predict and prevent autoimmunity in infants.
