Publishing in the journal
Cell a group of scientists have published their research working
on mice which reports that a high fat diet of the mother can bring about a shift in
gut microbes that negatively impacts the social behaviour of the offspring mice.
Of note today: non-exclusive breastfeeding increases the risk of HIV transmission via the alteration of
gut microbiome / T -
cell activation; Fasting altered the
gut microbiome in beneficial ways but only in mice previously fed a high fat diet; An investigation into new species of the honey and bumblebee
gut commensal genus Gilliamella; Catfish development shapes
gut microbial community structure independent of diet; A metagenomic analysis of the skin microbiome of the frog, Craugastor fitzingeri; The microbiome is altered during the bioremediation of herbicide contaminated soil; The impact of urban density
on the soil microbiome; A randomized placebo controlled clinical trial of a microbiota based drug for the prevention of Clostridium difficile Infection; and the virome of the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin of Mexico
In addition, the data showed that the
gut's hormone - producing enteroendocrine
cells (EECs)-- long divided into subsets based
on the idea that each only expressed a single hormone — can actually express multiple hormones at once.
The meeting will also feature other aspects of the Human
Cell Atlas initiative, including updates
on progress so far towards atlases of tumour, lung,
gut, kidney and immune system
cells.
The co-incidence of these 2 pathologies occurs also in humans suggesting a common pathological mechanism moving across the
gut - joint axis, with TNF signals acting
on specific
cell types directing pathogenesis at two different locations.
