Eligo Bioscience, a pioneering gene-editing company focused on addressing diseases driven by the expression of bacterial genes from the microbiome, publishes a landmark study in Nature that unlocks Genome Editing of Bacteria in the Gut. […]
Scientists at University of California San Diego have discovered another factor that affects the composition of the gut microbiome: time of day. In fact, the scientists have found that time of day is such an […]
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 […]
Early detection improves treatment outcomes for endometrial and ovarian cancers, yet far too often women are diagnosed in advanced stages of these diseases. Unlike many other cancers, there are no standard screenings for early detection […]
SNIPR BIOME receives funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to accelerate the development of SNIPR Biome’s microbial gene therapy platform to improve Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED) in pregnant women from low- and middle-income […]
ISB microbiome researchers have shown that microbial community-scale metabolic modeling can predict personalized short-chain-fatty-acid production profiles in the human gut. Their findings were published in the journal Nature Microbiology. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are beneficial […]
A new UCLA Health study has found that resilient people exhibit neural activity in the brain regions associated with improved cognition and regulating of emotions, and were more mindful and better at describing their feelings. […]
