Emerging research suggests a complex interaction between the gut microbiome and endometriosis. Recent studies have begun to explore the impact of dietary interventions on endometriosis.
An altered gut microbiome has been linked to various chronic diseases. New findings in mice reveal that a disrupted paternal gut microbiome impacts pregnancy health and increases the risk of growth issues in their future offspring.
While gut health and the microbiome have captured the attention of both researchers and the lay public, there is a gulf between popular media claims about gut health and the actual science. We spoke to Kristina Campbell, a microbiome science writer, about her new book on the subject called “Gut Health for Dummies”.
The mouth contains the second-largest bacterial community after the gut, but it ranks first in terms of bacterial diversity. Find out more about the link between how oral bacteria can alter the balance between health and disease beyond the oral cavity.

The last 12th Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit took place 23-24 March 2024 in Washington, D.C. and focused on relevant gut microbiome advances from the lab to the clinic. Find out more about the main takeaways of the conference and how they might affect your research and practice.
Dysosmobacter welbionis as potential promising next-generation probiotic for improving metabolic health?
8 May 2024by Patrice D. Cani
Dysosmobacter welbionis is a typical inhabitant of the human gut. New findings suggest it could be a potential next-generation beneficial bacterium for tackling specific cardiometabolic disorders linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
What role do gut and urogenital microbiomes play in urogenital infections?
16 Apr 2024by Fabio Chiesa
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.
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.
The bacteria that make up our gut microbiota lead a very active social life: they communicate and collaborate with each other, but also compete and keep each other in check. To a great extent, our health depends on this communication between them and with our cells. Hence, understanding how they relate to each other will be key to advancing toward the personalized medicine of the future.
Scientists found an intriguing link between anorexia nervosa and the gut microbiota
27 Nov 2023by Mónica Quinzo
Anorexia nervosa is a common eating disorder in adolescent women, which has no successful treatment. New findings in humans and mice have found new links between an altered gut microbiota, appetite, and regulation of body weight in anorexia nervosa.
