 | | |  Yoga and meditation show promise for gut health This systematic review found that yoga and Buddhist meditation were associated with favorable gut microbiota and metabolite profiles in four human studies involving healthy adults. However, because participants largely followed vegetarian or vegan diets and no randomized controlled trials were included, the findings cannot prove that meditation alone reshapes the gut microbiome. | | | | |  New mathematical model tracks microbial contribution to human digestion Food labels make calories seem simple. They show the number of calories per serving, which is calculated based on how much fat, carbohydrates and protein the food contains. | |

| | | | |  This review examines how gut keystone bacteria shape microbiome stability, disease risk, and responses to diet. It highlights why better identification methods, experimental validation, and precision diet-probiotic strategies are needed to restore gut homeostasis. | | | | |  With colorectal cancer a growing concern among younger people, the American Cancer Society has endorsed two new types of stool tests to encourage people to get screened while also recommending a limited role for new blood tests many patients find appealing. | | | | |  A new review brings attention to the STING pathway as a critical regulator in both colitis and colon cancer, highlighting its complex and often opposing roles in inflammation and tumor development. The findings underscore how this key component of the innate immune system can act as both a driver of disease and a protective mechanism, depending on biological context. | | | | |  Researchers at the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Jyväskylä have used artificial intelligence to speed up the analysis of colorectal cancer samples and predict the functioning of the cells' DNA repair mechanism. | | | | |  Background: Racially and ethnically minoritized patients are underscreened for colorectal cancer, resulting in racial/ethnic disparities. | | | | |  Researchers found that women who had undergone colorectal adenoma resection still showed gut microbiome and fecal metabolome alterations an average of about 12 years later. These persistent changes partly resembled colorectal cancer-associated patterns, suggesting that the host-microbiome axis may remain altered along the adenoma-cancer continuum. | | | | |  Thanks to special 3D-printed scaffolding trays designed by experts at Cincinnati Children's, researchers can now produce larger versions of functional human gut organoids twice as fast as previous methods-and these organoids grow their own nerve cells. | |
