Painful #fibromyalgia may be caused by "wrong" gut #microbiome. Fixed by implanting the "right" one. Preliminary results from small trial in humans (unfortunately without control group) and mice. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01290-x

Age related change of gut #microbiome leads to higher production of lymphoma favoring bacterial metabolite ADP-heptose. Discovery suggests possible intervention. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08938-8

“I was very surprised by our findings. As far as I know, no one has previously discovered molecules like these bile acids that can interact with the androgen receptor in this way,” said co-senior study author Dr. Chun-Jun Guo.

What if your gut bacteria could tell you how old your body is?

A 14-year study of wild baboons links #microbiome makeup to biological ageing, hinting at new ways to measure and maybe even slow it in humans. #Ageing #MachineLearning

Microbiome dynamics: this study shows that general principles can be learned even for something as hopelessly complex as the human gut #microbiome when well-designed experiments are combined with mathematical models. https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2322440122
