New Paper: Fecal Microbial Transplantation and Fiber Supplementation in Patients with Severe Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome
Congratulations to our Platform 3 Lead Dr. Karen Madsen on this recent publication! Abstract Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) from lean donors to patients with obesity has been associated with metabolic benefits, yet results so far have been inconsistent. In this study, we tested the application of daily fiber supplementation as an adjunct to FMT therapy […]
New Paper: Bacteroides-Dominant Gut Microbiome of Late Infancy is Associated with Enhanced Neurodevelopment
Congratulations to our Platform 2 Lead Dr. Anita Kozyrskyj on this recent publication! In this longitudinal clinical study, the authors leveraged the CHILD cohort study by analyzing the gut microbiota of 405 infants at 4 months and 1 year of age. They revealed an association between the cognitive development of infants based on the presence […]
New Paper: From Birth to Overweight and Atopic Disease: Multiple and Common Pathways of the Infant Gut Microbiome
Congratulations to our Platform 2 Lead Dr. Anita Kozyrskyj on this recent publication! This recent study from Dr. Kozyrskyj’s team and colleagues highlights how birth factors from the CHILD study cohort (@CHILDSTUDY) correlate to changes in the gut microbes of infants to “determine the pathways by which these alterations may lead to an increased risk […]
New Paper: Innate Responses to Gut Microbiota; Critical Assessment of the Necessary Experimental Controls
Congratulations to our Director and Platform 1 Lead Dr. Kathy McCoy on this recent publication! Focusing on the recent findings (since 2017) regarding the commensal bacteria of the mouse intestinal tract, Dr. McCoy and Dr. Ohland discuss the importance and advances of what experimental controls are required to reliably determine how the microbiota influences the […]
New Paper: Decreasing Antibiotic Use, The Gut Microbiota, and Asthma Incidence in Children: Evidence From Population-Based and Prospective Cohort Studies
The authors investigated if the decreases in asthma incidence are linked to reduced antibiotic prescribing and mediated by changes in the gut microbiota.
New Paper: A Diversified Dietary Pattern Is Associated With a Balanced Gut Microbial Composition of Faecalibacterium and Escherichia/Shigella in Patients With Crohn’s Disease in Remission
Study the relationships between dietary intake and shifts in microbiota and their metabolites in Crohn’s Disease patients to help define a dietary pattern.
