Personalized nutrition: Researchers identify connection between genetic variation and gut bacteria
Researchers uncovered a previously unknown link between genetic variation and gut bacteria which could help nutritionists personalize their recommendations. In a paper published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe, American and Egyptian researchers reported that having many copies of the gene alpha-amylase 1 (AMY1) is associated with increased populations of gut bacteria that play an important role in […]

Testing for a commensal gut bacterium could help identify people at risk of severe COVID-19
A new study suggests that the composition of gut microbiota could help predict COVID-19 severity. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) examined stool samples from COVID-19 patients and found that those who were critically ill had altered gut microbiomes. The researchers also identified a commensal bacterium called Enterococcus faecalis as a strong predictor of COVID-19 severity. E. faecalis is a symbiont with a potential to […]

Researchers say taurine trains your gut microbiota to resist subsequent infections with the same pathogen
Your gut microbiota helps shield you from infections, and for the longest time, scientists have wondered how. A new study published on Jan. 15 in the journal Cell details the process involved in gut immunity, or specifically, how your gut microflora functions to give you colonization resistance. Using mouse models, a team from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) identified which bacteria help your […]

Archaeologists unearth Medieval poop that might hint at what a healthy gut microbiome looks like
Medieval fecal samples from Israel and Latvia could provide crucial insights into how gut diseases developed, suggests a recent study published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. The samples were recovered from two latrines located in the capital cities of Jerusalem and Riga, which date back to between the 14th and 15th centuries. […]

Study: The health of your gut microbiome influences muscle strength
The gut microbiome affects muscle strength, found a study published in the journal Experimental Gerontology. Researchers from Tufts University said that the gut microbiome — the community of microorganisms living in the digestive tract — helps increase or decrease muscle strength depending on the amount of certain bacteria. The findings of the study benefit not only […]

Insulin resistance happens in the gut – but how? Researchers explain
Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition often studied in relation to diabetes. This is because it is considered a precursor to Type 2 diabetes. According to a group of researchers from Canada and the U.S., obesity can bring about insulin resistance, and it all starts in the gut. Published in the journal Nature Communications, their groundbreaking finding […]

This neuron-killing protein travels from the gut to the brain by hijacking a nerve
A recent study published in the journal Neuron found that alpha-synuclein (a-syn), a protein genetically linked to Parkinson’s disease, spreads from the gut to the brain through the vagus nerve. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore tested a previously proposed hypothesis suggesting that the gut-brain axis is involved in the progression of Parkinson’s — a […]
