Peer-Reviewed Publication AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MICROBIOLOGY Washington, D.C.— A new study demonstrates that the human gut microbiome may be a factor in breast health. Lifestyle and diet have long been known to affect human health. In the study, flaxseed components called lignans were shown to influence the relationship between gut microorganisms and the expression of...

Gut microbiota and immune alteration in cancer development: Implications for immunotherapy
by First Hospital of Jilin University Different microbes interact with host immune cells in the development of CRC, HCC and melanoma. Some of these interactions are pro-tumourigenic (labelled in red), while the others are against cancer progression (labelled in blue). CRC, colorectal cancer; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; MDSCs, myeloid-derived suppressor cells; NKT, natural killer T cells....

Gut microbiota, Alzheimer’s and the central nervous system
by Justin Jackson, Medical Xpress Genetic association between PRSs for Collinsella and APOE rs429358 genotype in the discovery sample. Individuals in the discovery sample were separated by their genotype at the APOE SNP rs429358. Those with the genotype of TC and CC had higher PRSs for genetically predicted Collinsella abundance than those with the TT...

Gut microbiota to be harnessed as a tool to diagnose diseases – promising results for fatty liver diagnosis
UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ – JYVÄSKYLÄN YLIOPISTO A recent study at the University of Jyväskylä compared the gut microbiota and gut-derived metabolites between healthy controls and individuals with fatty liver. The results revealed that certain microbial metabolites are associated with liver fat content. The fact that the gut microbiota associates with many diseases, has raised the...
