Every day, the billions of bacteria that inhabit your digestive system change; the food you eat, medications you take, and germs you’re exposed to make some bacteria flourish more than others. Scientists know that this ever-shifting balance of gut microbes is linked to your health and disease, but have struggled to pin down what makes one microbial balance better than another.

Mashup Score: 4Individual donor strains do not show link between fecal microbe transplantation and successful melanoma immunotherapy - 3 year(s) ago
The mix of microbes in the gut can shape a person’s immune response. In immunotherapy for melanoma, for example, the composition of the gut microbiota correlates with efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy in animal models and cancer patients.

Mashup Score: 12International research: Brazilian COVID-19 variant much more transmissible than other strains - 3 year(s) ago
An international team of researchers has found evidence suggesting that the P.1 coronavirus variant that was first seen in parts of Brazil may be up to twice as transmissible as prior strains. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their work involving study of the variant and what they found.

Mashup Score: 5Clinical trials testing broadly neutralizing antibody against HIV demonstrate efficacy against sensitive strains - 3 year(s) ago
The proof-of-concept AMP studies demonstrated that a broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) called VRC01 was effective at preventing the acquisition of HIV strains to the 30% of strains that were sensitive to the bnAb. This finding was seen both in Sub-Saharan Africa and the U.S. and South America. VRCO1 did not prevent the acquisition of HIV to strains that were resistant to the bNAb. As the…

Mashup Score: 5Antibiotic-resistant strains of staph bacteria may be spreading between pigs raised in factory farms - 3 year(s) ago
DNA sequencing of bacteria found in pigs and humans in rural eastern North Carolina, an area with concentrated industrial-scale pig-farming, suggests that multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains are spreading between pigs, farmworkers, their families and community residents, and represents an emerging public health threat, according to a study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins…

As a new, apparently more transmissible version of the virus that causes COVID-19 has appeared in several countries, new research finds that the transmissibility of viral strains and the population density of a region will play big roles in how vaccination campaigns can help towns and cities return to more normal activities.

Interferon (IFN) responses are one of the first defenses the body mounts against viral infections, and research has shown that it plays a role controlling viral replication. But when researchers at Baylor College of Medicine investigated whether IFN restricted human norovirus (HuNoV) infection in human intestinal enteroids (HIEs), a cultivation system that recapitulates many of the…
