A Nature Medicine research briefing describes gut microbiome changes that track from healthy people to genetically at-risk groups and symptomatic Parkinson’s patients, suggesting earlier screening may be possible.

A study in female zebrafish found that moderate aerobic exercise reduced ovarian, hormonal, behavioral, and microbiome disruptions associated with polystyrene nanoplastic exposure, pointing to a possible gut-ovary-brain

Researchers report that many gut bacteria switch into alternative epigenetic states that help populations survive antibiotics and diet shifts, offering a new explanation for microbiome resilience and inconsistent probi

A large Pacific coral survey reconstructed hundreds of microbial genomes, most previously undescribed, and found an unusually rich reservoir of genes linked to natural compounds that could matter for medicine and biotech

Researchers say enzymes that interrupt chemical signaling in dental plaque can shift oral bacteria toward healthier communities, offering a potential alternative to simply killing microbes outright.

Researchers in Japan report that lubiprostone helped preserve kidney function in a Phase II trial, pointing to the gut microbiome as a possible new target in chronic kidney disease.

A Harvard Medical School team reports that Morganella morganii can produce an inflammation-triggering molecule when it interacts with an environmental contaminant, offering a clearer mechanism linking the gut microbiome,

Researchers analyzing hundreds of samples identified oral and gut microbial signatures linked to gastric cancer, suggesting saliva-based screening could help detect disease earlier and clarify how mouth bacteria help re-

A Nature study in mice suggests low-protein diets can trigger gut microbe-driven signals that turn white fat toward a calorie-burning beige state, revealing a complex microbiome link in metabolism.

Researchers at the University of Vienna report evidence that gut bacteria diversity is tied to cortisol spikes during acute stress in healthy adults, adding another data point to the expanding map of gut-brain-body links

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet report an association between gut bacteria composition and the level of latent HIV in people receiving antiretroviral therapy, pointing to a possible new line of investigation in cure

Researchers identified a gut bacterium linked to stronger muscles in people and found that feeding it to mice improved their muscle strength, pointing to a possible future probiotic strategy.

Three landmark clinical trials confirm that fecal microbiota transplantation can significantly enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in advanced solid tumors.

Emerging research reveals that the hundreds of bacterial species colonizing your mouth may influence conditions far beyond dental health, from cardiovascular disease to cancer.

Researchers identify a naturally occurring gut molecule that reduces appetite and promotes fat burning without the side effects associated with current weight loss drugs.
