💡 Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a therapeutic intervention that modulates the gut microbiome to treat various health conditions. While the impact of FMT on bacterial communities has been studied, its influence on the phageome remains unclear. This study, conducted…

💡 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by neurodevelopmental deficits, with emerging evidence implicating the gut microbiome in its pathophysiology. This study employs a machine learning approach to identify bacterial taxa associated with ASD and validate their predictive power across…

In a groundbreaking revelation, scientists have uncovered a previously unrecognized class of viroid-like elements known as Obelisks, expanding our understanding of the intricate microbial world. Through a novel molecular-feature-focused search strategy, researchers identified these enigmatic entities in public RNA-seq datasets,…

💡 This single-center longitudinal analysis investigates the effects of ELX/TEZ/IVA on the intestinal microbiome, inflammation, and clinical parameters in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). The study reveals significant improvements in body mass index (BMI), forced expiratory volume in one second…

💡 This study employs High-Resolution Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H HR NMR) metabolomic analysis to investigate the metabolite profiles of meconium and stool samples from preterm newborns. The research aims to assess the feasibility of NMR in understanding the metabolic…

💡 This scientific report investigates the influence of linaclotide, a therapeutic agent for Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C), on gut microbiota composition and its correlation with treatment efficacy. The study highlights the association between changes in the gut microbiome,…

💡 This study investigates the impact of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) on cognitive function in Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) patients and explores the intricate relationship between cognition, gut microbiota alterations, and gene expression changes. The findings provide compelling evidence of FMT’s…

💡 This study investigates the influence of HIV exposure on the gut microbiota of infants and its potential association with humoral responses to tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccination. Examining 278 infants from South Africa and Nigeria, with varying HIV exposure statuses,…
