How diet affects metabolism and the gut microbiome

In a recent review published in the journal Cell, The researchers discussed recent advances in molecular nutrition, focusing on pharmaceutical and dietary interventions to manage energy balance and their interactions with the gut microbiome in humans. Furthermore, they explored emerging dietary patterns and the nutritional implications of microbiome research. Review: Digesting the complex metabolic effects… Read More »

The key to sensitive nutrition

The critical role of nutrition in health necessitates the development of dietary assessment tools that can accurately assess causal relationships with various health outcomes. A recently published study Nature Metabolism Examines the potential utility of food intake biomarkers (BFIs) in objective and accurate dietary assessments. To work: Towards precision nutrition: Unlocking biomarkers as dietary assessment… Read More »

Using a microbial community-scale metabolic modeling approach for precision nutrition.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are beneficial molecules created by bacteria living in our gut that are closely linked to improved host metabolism, lower systemic inflammation, better cardiovascular health, lower cancer risk, and more. However, SCFA profiles can vary greatly between individuals consuming the same diet, and we do not currently have the tools to estimate… Read More »

The missing link in the timeline of Earth chemistry may have been found

A missing piece of Earth’s evolutionary timeline may have been found. Using computational modelling, a team of scientists explored how working backwards from modern biochemistry could help map how simple, non-living chemicals were present in early history. Soil It gave rise to complex molecules that gave rise to life as we know it. Researchers believe… Read More »

Study reveals reduced stress and improved mood

A new study published in the journal Nutrition, Researchers at Northumbria University in the United Kingdom investigated the relationship between adherence to the ketogenic diet and various aspects of mental health, such as calmness, contentment, alertness, and emotional well-being, in the general healthy population. Research: The ketogenic diet has a positive relationship with mental and… Read More »

New research highlights the role of diet in combating vitiligo

In a recently published review Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, The researchers compiled existing literature investigating the effects of diet and nutritional interventions against vitiligo. The datasets consisted of 14 publications from three online scientific databases. The review findings highlight that vitiligo, a relatively rare autoimmune skin disease, potentially develops in response to increased somatic reactive… Read More »

A new frontier in disease management and cancer treatment

A new study published in the journal Nature Signal Transduction and Targeted TherapyScientists have examined the therapeutic potential and molecular mechanisms through which dietary interventions impact a wide range of human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic diseases, as well as cancer. To work: Effects of dietary intervention on human diseases:… Read More »

How do dietary restrictions, including intermittent fasting, affect the gut microbiota and overall human health?

In a new review published in the journal Nutrients, researchers reviewed preclinical and clinical data to analyze gut microbial changes across a variety of nutritional conditions.
