Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and their collaborators have developed a new technology to track beneficial bacteria after fecal microbiota transplants (FMT). The approach provides a detailed view of how […]
Hundreds of new viruses living inside bacteria within our gut have been discovered in an international study led by Professor Jeremy J. Barr from Monash University’s School of Biological Sciences and Associate Professor Sam Forster […]
Founded in 2021, Phagos is ushering in a new era in the fight against bacterial disease with bacteriophages, a powerful alternative to antibiotics. Thanks to an unprecedented regulatory breakthrough and a discovery platform combining microbiology […]
A pioneering research network to unlock the link between gut, immune and brain health has taken its first steps at a launch event on September 22 in Southampton. Researchers and stakeholders from across the UK […]
Recent studies suggest that the steady rise in life expectancy observed over the past 200 years has now stagnated. Data indicate that a limit has been reached, and that medical and healthcare advances no longer […]
Eight years ago, 87 obese adolescents took part in a groundbreaking study to see whether fecal transfer (taking ‘good’ gut bacteria from healthy donors and giving them in capsule form to people with a less […]
A new genome-wide study uncovers evidence of the first three-way relationships between human genetic variation, variation in the fungal component of the human microbiome — known as the mycobiome — and risk of developing chronic […]
Resbiotic Nutrition, Inc., a physician-scientist founded health and wellness company, today announced it has raised a total of $14.5 million, including a recently concluded $8 million Series A round supported by major shareholders Sororibus Capital and Biostack […]
A key group of beneficial gut microbes has been found to co-evolve alongside their animal hosts, opening the door to new targeted probiotic and dietary interventions for both animals and humans. In a study published […]
When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they’d stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could use to edit the DNA of living […]
Persephone Biosciences, a pioneering biotech company focused on unlocking the potential of the microbiome to impact human health, today announced the launch of its first consumer product: a daily synergistic synbiotic for infants and toddlers. […]
