Gut bacteria that have been disrupted in infancy can lead to greater aggression later in life, including causing changes to aggression-related genes, according to a new study. The findings warrant more research into the complex interplay between the gut,…

The male genital microbiome is shaped by the local microenvironment and host behaviors including sexual activity. Improving our understanding of the connection between the male genital microbiome, local inflammation, and HIV susceptibility, as well as how…

Nature - Leveraging metabarcoding and metagenomics, a survey of bacteria in the benthic microbiome across 152 glacier-fed streams (GFSs) provides a global reference for future climate-change...

Nature Communications - The dynamics of antimicrobial resistance gene transfer remain unclear. Here, by integrating bacterial genome and metagenome data with machine learning the authors show that...

PFAS have been linked with a range of health issues including decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, and a higher risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Scientists at

A groundbreaking study has revealed that white sugar doesn’t just feed the bacteria in your gut – it rewires them. Researchers have discovered that consuming sugar can trigger physical flips in bacterial DNA, setting off a chain reaction that alters immune…

Researchers have successfully tweaked a specialized compound from brown seaweed that appears to hold powerful anti-obesity potential – not through appetite suppression or fat burning, but by targeting the gut microbiome to get your body to fight weight gain…

Nature Microbiology - Gut microorganisms capable of producing ethanol cause alcohol intoxication, which can be corrected via faecal microbiota transplantation.

An understudied group of bacteria in our gut microbiome appears to play a central role in keeping us healthy, according to researchers at the University of Cambridge.
