The human gut consists of a complex community of microbes that consume and secrete hundreds of small molecules–a phenomenon called cross-feeding. However, it is challenging to study these processes experimentally. A new study, published in […]
Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Rebiotix Inc., a Ferring Company, and MyBiotics Pharma Ltd. today announced a multi-year strategic collaboration to develop live microbiota-based biotherapeutics to address bacterial vaginosis, a common vaginal infection among women of reproductive age […]
Scientists from Nanjing University and the University of Macau have devised a new approach to extend the survival of transplanted probiotics in vivo, enhancing the efficacy of cancer chemo-/immunotherapies in mice. The paper entitled “Smectite […]
Global biotech executive Thomas Mitchell is set to drive growth, innovation and expansion across Asia Pacific for thriving biotechnology start-up BiomeBank, Australia’s first public stool bank and microbiome therapeutics company, bringing with him a wealth […]
Fecal transplant changes the gut microbiome, turning cancer immunotherapy non-responders into responders. Video Credits: UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Researchers at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) demonstrate that changing the gut […]
A CONCEPT known as dry biofilms has emerged over the past few years and they have shown to frequently harbour potentially infectious organisms, just like the ones present in Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). However, as […]
A new study from UBC researchers suggests a strong correlation between following the MIND and Mediterranean diets and later onset of Parkinson’s disease (PD). While researchers have long known of neuroprotective effects of the MIND […]
New research from North Carolina State University reveals that probiotic Lactobacillus bacteria use enzymes situationally to manipulate bile acids and promote their own survival in the gut. These findings further elucidate the complicated relationship between […]
Da Volterra, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative products to prevent the life-threatening effects antibiotics have on the gut microbiome of cancer patients, announced today that it received approval to start enrolling patients in a […]
The bacterial gut microbiome is strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD), but no studies had previously investigated he role of fungi in the gut. In this novel study published in the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, […]
In recent years, the understanding of how the microbiome and human health are linked has expanded considerably. We believe the rise in this understanding and the growing interest towards our microbiome research-focused Health for Life […]
