A new research project is underway that will develop new computational methods for analyzing and integrating different types of data available from an existing cohort of young adults, including continuous glucose measurements, images of meals, metabolomics...
A polyphenolic-rich extract from kiwifruit peel may reduce intestinal permeability associated with a high-fat diet by boosting the levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut, suggests a new study from China.
A survey of frontline health care workers across six countries found that those who followed plant-based or pescatarian diets were significantly less likely to suffer severe COVID-19 symptoms, compared with those who followed other diets.
Faecal microbiota transplantation is arguably more effective in managing asthma than current treatments and even probiotics, say two scientists, who call for more research into its use.

The human protein elafin could be delivered into the gut using a probiotic bacterium to reduce the inflammatory reaction typical of celiac disease, researchers suggest.
High intakes of salt throughout adolescence may be associated with levels of obesity and inflammation, regardless of calories consumed, say researchers.
Saturated milk fats commonly found in Western processed foods could be leading to changes in the gut ecosystem that result in higher risks of inflammatory bowel diseases, warn researchers.
