Eat for a healthier gut Finding the foods that work best for your unique body and your community of gut bacteria starts with understanding which bugs are living in your gut right now, and which foods will help them thrive. Through our research, we have identified a panel of 15 ‘good’...
The article examines the contribution of the myeloid differentiation primary-response gene 88 (MyD88) and microorganisms to the development of diabetes, and observed that commensal bacteria confer protection from the development of the disease. Researchers studied a MyD88-deficient non-obese diabetic (...

Beneficial Gut Bacteria and Immunity: Are You Protected? Inside your intestinal tract live countless trillions of diverse microorganisms that help you properly digest food and protect your body against harmful bacteria. This beneficial bacterial “ecosystem,” so to speak, is often referred to in the...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We are currently entering an exciting transition period from studying the molecular and cellular bases of the virulence of bacterial pathogens to deciphering the mechanisms of tolerance of the gut commensal flora. This review attempts to delineate the (sometimes thin) border between...
One factor impacting the resistance to immunotherapies may be the gut microbiome, the population of bacteria and other microbial species that reside in the intestines and normally aid digestion, support various metabolic functions and play a role in regulating the immune system. Colorectal cancer is ...
The community of microbial cells in the human gut is estimated to be comparable in magnitude to the number of human cells1. This community, deemed the human gut microbiome, is mainly composed of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, with bacteria being the largest constituent. These bacterial...
New research reveals a cellular mechanism by which good bacteria can help the gut stay healthy. The study, which appears in the journal Immunity, shows that good bacteria, or the microbiota, interact with both the epithelial cells lining the gut and cell
Prebiotics are types of fiber that feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping them thrive. Some excellent prebiotic foods include: Garlic: Adds flavor to dishes and supports gut bacteria. Onions: Versatile and great for feeding your gut microbiome. Asparagus: A tasty vegetable that's high...
the microbiome influences the function of these systems, which in turn alter the activity and composition of the bacterial community. We are starting to unravel this complexity and gain insight into howgut bacteriainterface with the rest of the body and, in particular, how they affect the brain...
