Breakthrough humanized mouse model offers new insights for immunotherapy development

A breakthrough for biomedical research promises new insight into immunotherapy development and disease modeling. Scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have created a humanized mouse model with a human immune system and a human-like gut microbiome that is capable of mounting specific antibody responses. The scientists were led by Paolo […]

Gut bacteria Ruminococcus gnavus can enhance the effects of cancer immunotherapy

Roughly one in five cancer patients benefits from immunotherapy – a treatment that harnesses the immune system to fight cancer. Such an approach to beating cancer has seen significant success in lung cancer and melanoma, among others. Optimistic about its potential, researchers are exploring strategies to improve immunotherapy for cancers that don’t respond well to […]

Study reveals unintended consequences of antibiotic choice in sepsis treatment Treatment With …

In emergency rooms and intensive care units across the country, clinicians make split-second decisions about which antibiotics to give a patient when a life-threatening infection is suspected. A new U-M study reveals that these decisions may have unintended consequences for patient outcomes. Beginning in 2015, a 15-month national shortage of a commonly prescribed antibiotic, piperacillin/tazobactam, […]

Natural compounds in gut microbiome show promise for inflammation treatment

Researchers at the University of Toronto have found naturally occurring compounds in the gut that can be harnessed to reduce inflammation and other symptoms of digestive issues. This can be achieved by binding the compounds to an important, but poorly understood, nuclear receptor. The gut microbiome hosts bacteria that produce compounds as by-products of feeding on our […]

Gut-friendly psychobiotics could brighten moods and fight depression

In a recent review published in the journal Nutrients, researchers investigated the psychobiotic treatment of depression by restoring microbial balance and regulating the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) axis. Depression is a global health concern that causes pain, lost productivity, higher healthcare expenditures, and a high risk of suicide. Dysbiosis, a disruption in gut microbiome homeostasis, can affect […]

Boosting butyrate-producing gut bacteria lowers hospitalization rates for infections

A study of two large European patient cohorts has found that for every 10% increase in butyrate-producing bacteria in a patient’s gut, the risk of hospitalization for any infection falls by between 14 and 25% across two large national cohorts. The study will be presented at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious […]

Microbial signatures linked to immunotherapy response across cancers

The microbiome can identify those who benefit from combination immunotherapy across multiple different cancers, including rare gynecological cancers, biliary tract cancers and melanoma. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute in Australia, and collaborators, have identified specific strains of bacteria that are linked with a positive response to combination immunotherapy […]

Study links ultra-processed foods to gut health risks

In a recent review published in the journal Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, researchers synthesized the current knowledge on how food additives and ultra-processed foods (UPFs) affect gut health. As UPFs and food additives become more common in diets worldwide, they have been implicated in adverse gut outcomes like alterations to microbial communities and intestinal […]
