Mental Health and the Brain-Gut-Microbiota Axis: Fundamental Importance of Diet
The Mediterranean diet is regarded as the most beneficial diet from a mental health perspective. The benefits of such a diet are mediated significantly through the brain- gut-microbiota axis. Abnormalities in this axis have been described in the most […]

Novel In vitro Model Replicates Intestinal Microbiota Composition Without Requiring Anaerobic Incubation
The majority of the gut microbiota is unculturable using standard laboratory techniques, which has been well-documented since the advent of next generation sequencing in microbiome research. This limitation makes it difficult to characterise the phenotype […]

Scientists find gut-brain link that may affect behavior in children with autism
A new USC study suggests that gut imbalances in children with autism may create an imbalance of metabolites in the digestive system — ultimately disrupting neurotransmitter production and influencing behavioral symptoms. The research, published in […]

Some gut bacteria could make certain drugs less effective
A new study, published in Nature Chemistry by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Yale University, shows how common gut bacteria can metabolize certain oral medications that target cellular receptors called GPCRs, potentially rendering these important drugs less […]

New study sheds light on how bacteria ‘vaccinate’ themselves with genetic material from dormant viruses
Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, “phages.” Scientists have sought to learn how the single-cell […]
