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.
Gut microbiota and personalized nutrition. An interview with Niv Zmora
22 Jun 2017by GMFH Editing Team
We have all experienced the following and frustrating situation: we need to lose some weight or control our pre-diabetes or a high blood pressure, but although we go on a diet prescribed by our family doctor and stick to it rigorously, it does not work.
New insights on how the microbiome may dictate the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs
19 Jun 2017by Andreu Prados
Previous research has shown that the gut microbiome could influence cancer outcomes through its interaction with host immunity. Indeed, mouse studies have shown the anti-cancer effects of chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide and celecoxib could be mediated by commensal species.

12 Jun 2017by GMFH Editing Team
GMFH is pleased to announce that, at two important upcoming conferences, our initiative has lent its support to a series of sessions on gut microbiota and nutrition, bringing together an international lineup of experts to speak about concrete applications of the science.
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.
