Islamabad -- New research suggests that antibiotics may raise the risk of rheumatoid arthritis by altering the gut
microbiota.
The study published in the journal 'Gastroenterology' has found that red wine drinker's have an increased gut
microbiota diversity (a sign of good gut health) compared to non-red wine drinkers.
Finch will use the Series C proceeds to advance its pipeline of novel microbial therapies, including CP101, a Full-Spectrum
Microbiota therapy delivered in an oral capsule that is designed to contain a diverse community of
microbiota and restore a balanced microbiome.
After reviewing 21 studies that looked at 1,503 people, researchers reported in the journal General Psychiatry that it may be possible to treat anxiety symptoms by regulating intestinal
microbiota. They reviewed studies that looked at both probiotic and non-probiotic interventions.
Anavex Life Sciences reported results from a study evaluating the gut
microbiota of patients in the ongoing Anavex 2-73 Phase 2a extension study ofAnavex 2-73, a selective sigma-1 receptor agonist.
More and more research seems to suggest, according to the various studies published in the journal, that gut
microbiota, the microorganisms in the gut numbering in the trillions, which perform vital functions in the immune system and metabolism by providing essential inflammatory mediators, nutrients and vitamins, helps to regulate brain function through the "gut-brain axis."
HMOs are known to support infant health--and they do so through several different mechanisms, but most notably by shaping gut
microbiota development.
Some studies have demonstrated possible roles of the gastrointestinal
microbiota in cancer treatment response.
Increasingly, research has indicated that gut
microbiota -- the trillions of microorganisms in the gut which perform important functions in the immune system and metabolism by providing essential inflammatory mediators, nutrients and vitamins -- can help regulate brain function through something called the "gut-brain axis."
Science is increasingly discovering the important role played by the trillions of
microbiota that inhabit the human body, how they might possibly be causing cravings for certain foods that they're partial to, and how they could very possibly play a role in anxiety, depression, obesity and chronic illness when a person's internal 'ecosystem' or microbiome is out of balance.
A symposium at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) explored the impact on health of the complex interactions between the nervous system, the gut and the
microbiota -- the micro-organisms living in the gut.
