Gut Microbiota Research & Practice is a section dedicated to promoting knowledge-sharing and debate among researchers, scientists and healthcare professionals. You will find a selection of discussions about articles from scientific literature as well as other content including interviews with experts, event reports, and special publications.

Gut Microbiota for Health platform grows on the way of connecting the dots between gut microbiota, diet, nutrition and a healthy gut. We interviewed Paul Enck and Rene van den Wijngaard about the evolution of the GMFH project, highlighting the milestones achieved and news to come.

Individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes have shown an altered gut microbiome composition. A new study has discovered tissue bacterial signatures linked to type 2 diabetes.
Large inter-individual variability exists regarding how our gut microbiota responds to dietary intervention. New findings in mice and people with obesity show that ‘responders’ to inulin may be identifiable from their gut microbiota before they receive the intervention.

Our gut microbiota profile may help us understand the contribution of bariatric surgery to weight loss. New findings reveal gut microbiota composition before Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is associated with type 2 diabetes remission in obese diabetic women.

Meal residues entering the colon are metabolized by the gut microbiota and may lead to functional digestive symptoms in the general population. New research shows that probiotics may help improve the tolerance of a plant-based flatulogenic diet.

Current techniques available for exploring the response of our gut to meal-related stimuli are scarce. A new narrative review updates how Magnetic Resonance Imaging has helped in evaluating the impact of nutrients and drugs on gastrointestinal physiology and pathology.

A large proportion of the general population struggle with digestive symptoms that cannot be detected by conventional diagnostic methods. Understanding how the gastrointestinal tract responds to meal-related stimuli may help both in healthy conditions and in eating-related disorders.

Our gut microbiota aids in the digestion and absorption of nutrients and in training our immune system. New research in mice reveals gut bacteria may also protect us from chemical modifications of food ingredients introduced by food processing.

Our digestive tract has a major impact not only on digestion, absorption and defense, but also on satiation and fullness after ingesting a meal. It therefore seems reasonable that the food we eat is a major modulator of gastrointestinal health, through the gut microbiota.
