Researchers at UW-Madison have identified bacteria in the gut that eat up purines and uric acid before they can accumulate in the blood.

The connection between respiratory infections, chronic diseases like asthma, and the gut microbiome drives research toward more effective, targeted treatments for lung diseases.

A team of investigators has identified metabolic strategies used by Clostridioides difficile to rapidly colonize the gut. The findings identify methods to better prevent and treat the most common ...

However, common gut anaerobes actually have relatively oxidized proteomes, so their depletion drives overall reduction at the community level.” ...

Chemical engineers have been researching the anaerobic fungi found in the guts of herbivores, which make it possible for those animals to fuel themselves with sugars and starches extracted from ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD Research uncovers a potential link between gut bacteria and chronic fatigue in IBD patients, with ...

Current scientific literature consistently highlights the superiority of plant-based and Mediterranean diets over Western diets in promoting gut health and preventing non-communicable diseases.

Certain gut microbes have been associated with certain diseases, but a new study finds that the pattern of microbes is consistent across a range of diseases.
