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 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 […]
For over a decade, scientists have studied the microbiome, the environment of microorganisms that live on and in the body, and how it affects health and disease. Much less is known about a part of […]
Microbes were the only life form on Earth for most of the history of our planet. Even today, they still make up the majority of species that are vital to the health of our planet. […]
Microbes that are used for health, agricultural, or other applications need to be able to withstand extreme conditions, and ideally the manufacturing processes used to make tablets for long-term storage. MIT researchers have now developed […]
Nestlé’s recently launched Petivity Microbiome Analysis Kit in the U.S. helps to deliver tailored nutrition and supplement recommendations for dogs and cats based on their unique gut profile. Through science-based sequencing technology of a pet’s microbiome, the new analysis […]
On October 5th, 2023, the European Medical Agency adopted guidelines on the quality, safety, and efficacy of veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) designed for phage therapy. The aim of the guidelines is to provide clear “regulatory/technical […]
Fish that dine on corals may pay it forward with poop. It’s an unexpected twist on coral reef symbiosis, said Rice University marine biologist Adrienne Correa, whose lab discovered coral predator feces are jam-packed with […]
Novozymes, the world leader in biological solutions, announced the acquisition of the microbiome R&D team and data science platform of Biota. Based in San Diego, US, Biota pioneered industrial genomics using microbiome insights, impacting the […]
We live in a world invaded by plastic. Its role as a chemically stable, versatile and multi-purpose fostered its massive use, which has finally translated into our current situation of planetary pollution. Moreover, when plastic […]
Introduction The microbiome is one of the hottest areas in biotechnology, as countless studies have linked its composition and activity with human disease1,2, especially in illnesses of poorly understood mechanisms, with high medical unmet needs. […]
