Is there an association between COVID-19 and the risk of developing an autoimmune disease?

Researchers reviewed data on the incidence of autoimmune diseases in the post-acute coronavirus disease 2019 period.

Early-life gut microbial dysbiosis exacerbates colitis

A recent Research journal study investigated the role of microbiota linked to the anaerobic plasmalogen biosynthetic pathway in establishing intestinal homeostasis. The study hypothesized that the presence of pls [PlsA/R]-positive bacterial species and plasmalogen bestow valuable intestine homeostasis in early life.

Study expands the knowledge about gut viral diversity in healthy infants

Viruses are usually associated with illness. But our bodies are full of both bacteria and viruses that constantly proliferate and interact with each other in our gastrointestinal tract.

Study illuminates how patients with variants in the PTPN2 gene develop IBD

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, describes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, two chronic diseases that cause inflammation in the intestines. IBD, which affects about 3 million adults in the United States, is an autoimmune disorder - a condition in which the body's immune system attacks healthy tissues.

Does higher caffeine and coffee intake impact colonic microbiota composition and diversity?

Researchers investigated the association between caffeine and the colonic microbiome.

6 Apr 2023

New imaging technique can improve the treatment of intestinal strictures in Crohn's disease

Patients suffering from Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory intestinal disorder, develop painful constrictions in the bowel.

5 Apr 2023

Two-drug combination may offer a new way to treat inflammatory bowel diseases, study suggests

Fresh insights into how our bodies interact with the microbes living in our guts suggest that a two-drug combination may offer a new way to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Is depression associated with gut mycobacteria dysbiosis in children?

Researchers evaluated the gut mycobiota in adolescents/children with depression.

4 Apr 2023

Clinical trial findings may be a game changer in the treatment of pediatric Crohn's disease

Crohn's disease is a lifelong inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that is characterized by swelling in the lining of the digestive tract, causing severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding.

3 Apr 2023

Probiotic E. coli secretes proteins of therapeutic value into its surroundings

Humans are colonized with thousands of bacterial strains. Researchers are now focused on genetically modifying such bacteria to enhance their intrinsic therapeutic properties.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away: polyphenol-enriched apples alter immune cell gene expression and fecal microbiota composition

Researchers compared the effects of consuming red-fleshed apples and white-fleshed among healthy adults.

29 Mar 2023

How do viral infections cause autoimmune diseases?

Researchers describe the pathological mechanisms of virus-induced autoimmune diseases.

28 Mar 2023

The connection between gut microbiota, the gut–brain axis, and brain aging: can polyphenols have an impact?

A review published in the Antioxidants journal aimed to understand the impact of gut microbiota on brain aging.

28 Mar 2023

What is the relationship between a plant-based diet and the gut microbiome?

A recent study conducted a systematic review of the impact of plant-based diets on gut microbiota.

Forward genetic screening reveals important pathways for sleep regulation in C. elegans

Although the regulation of sleep—how much, when, and how sleep occurs—is mainly considered to be controlled by the brain, sleep deprivation also affects the body, and signals from the body can affect sleep.

27 Mar 2023

Venous thromboembolism is rare among non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients

In a recent study published in the journal JAMA Network Open, researchers in the United States assessed the risk and aimed to identify the independent predictors of venous thromboembolism events in outpatients who had less severe manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

16 Mar 2023

Study implicates gut microbiome and immune response in hospital-acquired infections

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers at the University of Calgary analyzed the dynamics of fecal microbiota and conducted single-cell profiling of inflammatory responses and systemic immunity to determine associations between gut microbiome dysbiosis and an increased risk of nosocomial infections.

16 Mar 2023

Purine metabolite xanthine may play a role in Th17 cell differentiation in the gut

The gut is home to a cast of microbes that influence health and disease. Some types of microorganisms are thought to contribute to the development of inflammatory conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the exact cascade of events that leads from microbes to immune cells to disease remains mysterious.

16 Mar 2023

Clinical trial shows promising results for oral psoriasis treatment

A company launched from The University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) has passed an important milestone in developing an oral treatment for the common skin disease psoriasis.
