Multi-organ scRNA-seq reveals targeting pro- or anti-inflammatory regulators may be exploited for personalized treatment of immune diseases

Researchers performed multi-organ single-cell RNA sequencing of collagen-induced arthritis murine model to evaluate immune-mediated inflammatory disease alterations by characterizing the genome, organizing the organome, and prioritizing pathways in the multi-organ data.

Large-scale longitudinal study of neutralizing antibody responses to norovirus in children

Researchers characterized serological neutralizing antibody responses to norovirus among young children, transitioning between sequential GII.4 pandemic strains, DH 2006, NO 2009, and SY 2012.

Adding evidence to the weight gain causality of sugary drinks

The review, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is the most extensive analysis to date of research on sweetened drinks and overweight and obesity - both of which heighten risks for diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and other diseases.

Gut bacteria influence the liver's regenerative ability

When parts of the liver are removed, the body can replace the missing tissue. A team of researchers at the Technical University of Munich has now discovered that the success of this process depends to a large extent on gut bacteria.

Modifying gut flora before surgery could reduce postoperative complications in colorectal cancer patients

In a promising study, Canadian researchers have shown for the first time in mice that modifying intestinal flora before surgery could reduce postoperative complications in colorectal cancer patients.

Study reveals synergistic impact of estrogen and intestinal dysbiosis on pulmonary fibrosis

In a recent study published in Cells, researchers evaluated idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) pathophysiological differences by sex and intestinal microbiome.

Three intestinal bacteria associated with dementia with Lewy bodies discovered

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), one of the most common forms of dementia, has no cure. Previous studies suggested that gut bacteria, the microorganisms that live in the human digestive tract, play a role in Parkinson's disease, another neurodegenerative disorder, but the bacteria involved in DLB had not been identified.

Gut-on-a-chip devices can bridge lab models and human biology

The gut is one of the most complex organs in the body. Inside, it teems with a diverse microbial population that interacts and cooperates with intestinal cells to digest food and drugs.

Microglia may be the culprit behind concentration and memory problems after chemotherapy

Immune cells that keep the brain free of debris but also contribute to inflammation are the likely culprits behind the concentration and memory problems that sometimes follow one type of chemotherapy, a new study in mice suggests.

COVID-19 does not increase the risk of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection

SARS-CoV-2 infection does not appear to influence pneumococcal colonization in the upper respiratory tract.

Natural product with grape seed extracts, lactic acid, and pea protein could effectively manage bacterial vaginosis

Researchers evaluate the efficacy of using a product comprising lactic acid, grape seed extract, and pea protein in managing bacterial vaginosis in vivo.

Tiny worm enables scientists to explore the theory that Parkinson's disease starts in the gut

A tiny worm called the C. elegans is enabling scientists to explore the emerging theory that Parkinson's disease starts in the gut.

Cutting just one food from the diet rather than six may help treat eosinophilic esophagitis

Eliminating animal milk alone from the diet of adults with eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE, is as effective at treating the disease as eliminating animal milk plus five other common foods, a clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health has found.

Exploring the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of butyrate

In a recent study published in the journal Fermentation, researchers reviewed studies examining the role of butyrate in inflammatory responses, immunological properties, and diseases related to the immune system such as atopic dermatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), psoriasis, and cancer.
