Regulatory T cells in the colon travel to muscles to promote wound healing in mice, raising questions about how antibiotics may impact injury recovery.

A study adds to evidence linking gut bacteria to liver conditions in people who don’t drink excessive amounts of alcohol. 

IgA antibodies appear to bind to specific species of commensal gut bacteria in mice, according to a study.

Though scientists don’t yet know much about it, a newly described process called erebosis might have profound implications for how the gut maintains itself.

Studies are finding that a single course of antibiotics alters the gut microbiomes of healthy volunteers—and that it can take months or even years to recover the original species composition.

Multiomic approaches identify important metabolites from the gut microbiome.

In mice, a kind of immune memory appears to protect the cells against future harm, a finding that could provide insight into treatments for irritable bowel syndrome and other inflammatory digestive conditions.

An all-in-one system simplifies stool collection and stabilizes DNA for microbiome profile analysis.

COVID-19 affects far more than just the lungs. Researchers are actively documenting the damage the disease causes to the heart, brain, liver, and much more.

Microbiota from young mice reversed some aspects of aging and enhanced brain health in aged mice.

Centenarians have distinct microbiomes with species that produce unique bile acids, which may help thwart illness.

Bacteria that live in the digestive tracts of animals may influence the adaptive trajectories of their hosts.

Researchers find traces of SARS-CoV-2 in the stool and blood of kids with the post–COVID-19 inflammatory disorder, and signs of increased intestinal permeability.

A study shows gamma-delta T cells in mice respond to shifts in nutrients by changing the cellular composition of the intestinal epithelium.
