The gut microbiome is a potential target of interest for scientists in managing obesity and related metabolic diseases. Scientists have isolated a new-bacterium highly prevalent in the human gut and showing benefits for host metabolism.
The gut microbiota has emerged as a potential target in managing stroke. New observational findings in Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke found reduced short-chain fatty acid levels are associated with an increased risk of 90-day poor functional outcomes.
Little is known about the relationship between diet, the composition and function of the gut microbiota and clinical symptoms of IBS. New findings identify how IBS symptom severity is related to a higher intake of foods with poor nutritional quality and gut microbiome features at both subspecies level and metabolic pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
