Cancer and the microbiota [PDF]
Science, 2015 A host’s microbiota may increase, diminish, or have no effect at all on cancer susceptibility. Assigning causal roles in cancer to specific microbes and microbiotas, unraveling host-microbiota interactions with environmental factors in carcinogenesis, and exploiting such knowledge for cancer diagnosis and treatment are areas of intensive interest.

A Dynamic Double‐Flow Gut‐On‐Chip Model for Predictive Absorption Studies In Vitro
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study presents a novel millifluidic gut‐on‐chip model using the MIVO® device to replicate human intestinal conditions. Dynamic co‐culture of CaCo‐2 and HT‐29 cells accelerates differentiation, modulates mucus thickness, and enhances barrier function.

A multi-platform metabolomics approach identifies novel biomarkers associated with bacterial diversity in the human vagina [PDF]
, 2015 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) increases transmission of HIV, enhances the risk of preterm labour, and its associated malodour impacts the quality of life for many women. Clinical diagnosis primarily relies on microscopy to presumptively detect a loss of lactobacilli and acquisition of anaerobes.

A possible gut microbiota basis for weight gain side effects of antipsychotic drugs [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Weight gain is a well-established side effect of both conventional and newer anti-psychotic drugs, but the cause is not well understood. Recent studies correlate obesity with the presence or absence of particular genetic sequences in the gut microbiota. We identified strong associations between protein targets of antipsychotics and microbiota sequences

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study uses gut microbiome data to predict corticosteroid response in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Fecal samples from 212 patients with ITP are sequenced. Six machine‐learning algorithms are used to train predictive models. The support vector machine‐based model integrated clinical data and selected microbial species, diversities ...
