By Rich Haridy May 26, 2021 New research has found some species of gut bacteria can help minimize the negative effects of chemotherapy on the microbiome. A compelling new proof of concept study from researchers at Northwestern University has demonstrated how certain types of protective gut bacteria can help negate the damaging side effects of...
by Lewis Taylor, University of Oregon Credit: CC0 Public Domain Home is where the microbes are. That’s one takeaway from newly published research by an interdisciplinary University of Oregon team that found a shared home environment to be the strongest predictor of human microbiome similarity or the commonalities between the communities of microbes that live within...

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA New research shows how drinking sugary beverages early in life may lead to impaired memory in adulthood. The study, published today in Translational Psychiatry, also is the first to show how a specific change to the gut microbiome — the bacteria and other microorganisms growing in the stomach and intestines — can...
WEIZMANN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE Cancer immunotherapy may get a boost from an unexpected direction: bacteria residing within tumor cells. In a new study published in Nature, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science and their collaborators have discovered that the immune system “sees” these bacteria and shown they can be harnessed to provoke an immune...
Prebiotics are an intriguing potential approach to curbing some of the severe side effects that life-saving immunotherapy treatments can wreak on the gut, according to an analysis of recent studies and clinical trials by researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center. Rather than trying to introduce beneficial strains of bacteria directly into a...
ELSEVIER IMAGE: ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DYSBIOSIS OF GUT MICROBIOTA AND HYPERTENSION CREDIT: JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE Philadelphia, March 19, 2021 – In recent years, fermented dairy foods have been gaining attention for their health benefits, and a new review published in the Journal of Dairy Science indicates these foods could help reduce conditions like hypertension (high...
Changes in the gut microbiome have a role in aging, and the activities of microbial species (generation of beneficial metabolites, versus generation of harmful inflammation) may be as important as lifestyle choices such as exercise when it comes to the pace of aging. Certainly there is good evidence for rejuvenation of the gut microbiome via fecal...
