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.

The gut and urogenital microbiota play a crucial role in the development and treatment of urogenital infections, revolutionizing the traditional perception of areas like the bladder, which were once considered sterile. This article explores how omics sciences are deepening our understanding of the human microbiota.

Experiencing that sinking feeling in your gut when anxiety kicks in or feeling butterflies in your stomach when you fall in love are visible signals of the brain-gut connection. Emerging evidence suggests understanding the microbiota-gut-brain axis could be the missing key in managing IBS.

With the advancement of medicine, our population is undergoing a prolonged aging process. Over the next three decades, the global population aged over 65 years is set to more than double, reaching a staggering 1.5 billion individuals. The emergence of the gut microbiota as a potent modulator of healthy aging requires a concerted effort to allocate resources and research towards developing interventions aimed at promoting optimal gut health and longevity.
