The main researchers behind those successful and ambitious projects attended the Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit held in Paris, in March 2017, where we could interview them.
The potential role of gut microbiota at birth in programming future health
15 Jun 2017by GMFH Editing Team
Recent research has shed light on the importance of gut microbiota both during pregnancy and early life. Despite recent research that shows the placenta is not sterile, as previously thought, gut microbiota colonization in the first days and weeks after birth appears to have enormous significance for post-natal life.
A probiotic may lead to changes in gut microbiome composition that are related to microbial translocation and inflammation in HIV-infected patients
12 Jun 2017by Andreu Prados
A new double-blind, randomised has found that changes in gut microbiome composition following treatment with a probiotic are related to microbial translocation and inflammation in HIV-infected patients undergoing standard treatments.
A recent review explores the evidence that exists for how dietary modulation of gut microbiota composition occurs, and the extent to which it depends on inter-individual microbiota variation in humans.
A new study on the mechanisms involved in recovery from recurrent Clostridium difficile infection after faecal microbiota transplantation
5 Jun 2017by Andreu Prados
A new study has found that engraftment of a donor’s gut microbial community is not necessary for recovery from recurrent C. difficile infection after faecal microbiota transplantation.

“Standing room only” was reported from the microbiome presentations at the recent Digestive Disease Week 2017 (#DDW17)—not an unusual circumstance at academic and medical conferences all around the world.
Researchers find the first evidence of brain structural alterations correlated with gut microbes in people with irritable bowel syndrome
29 May 2017by Andreu Prados
A new study has found that gut microbial composition may be associated with brain structural alterations in people with IBS.
Absence of a gut microbiota may substantially slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology in mice
25 May 2017by Paul Enck
A new study has found that the gut microbiota may be involved in progression of cerebral Abeta amyloidosis in mice, and thus the mouse mechanisms may possibly applying to the development of AD.
Gut microbiota changes are related to intestinal permeability in adults under physiologic stress
22 May 2017by Paul Enck
A recent study, led by Dr. Stefan Pasiakos from the Military Nutrition Division at the United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine in Natick (Massachusetts, USA), has found that changes in gut microbiota composition and metabolic activity are related to intestinal permeability in adults undergoing military training, an environment of physiologic stress.
A recent review explores the impact of dietary components and dietary patterns on the gut microbiome
18 May 2017by Andreu Prados
A recent review, led by Dr. Wilson Liao from the Department of Dermatology at the University of California (San Francisco), has explored how specific dietary components and dietary patterns interact with the gut microbiome.
