Teams of scientists from around the world envisage new solutions and methods for treating and preventing different kinds of allergic diseases, thanks to our gut microbiota and its preventive role.

A new study sheds light on how gut microbiota-derived metabolites can influence host immune and metabolic pathways. Focusing on trimethylamine (TMA) and IRAK4 signaling, the findings help clarify the mechanisms linking microbial metabolism with metabolic inflammation and glycemic regulation.

Blastocystis has long been viewed mainly as a marker of parasitic infection. Emerging research reviewed here suggests that its presence is not necessarily linked to disease, but may instead reflect greater microbial diversity and metabolic health in certain contexts.

Speaking during a visit to Barcelona, Professor John Cryan discusses new findings showing that coffee polyphenols may support microbial communities involved in gut-brain communication—and why decaffeinated coffee produced similar effects.
