Genetically engineered gut bacteria may open new pathways for targeted nutrition

New research has found that engineering a gut microbe can unlock new natural treatments against diseases. Scientists genetically modified the common gut bacterium Phocaeicola vulgatus. When proliferated in the gut microbiome, it led to reduced oxalate levels, emerging as a potential treatment for kidney stones.

End of an era? Scientists call for ethical non-animal nutrition research
Nutritional science in the US is at a transformative point, with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) no longer seeking to fund animal-exclusive research. As animal models are widely used in nutrition science, we speak to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine about what it will take for government and industry to embrace non-animal methods (NAMs).

Experts call for new ultra-processed food definition as US consumers struggle...
Confused consumer in a supermarket
As ultra-processed foods comprise a considerable share of the US diet, consumers are increasingly aware of their associated health impacts. However, surveys underscore that consumers struggle to identify ultra-processed foods or to accurately determine which ones are linked to health risks, such as type 2 diabetes. Although observational research links ultra-processed foods to health issues like obesity or non-communicable diseases, studies that distinguish between different types of foods underscore that not all have an equally adverse impact on health. 
Path to personalized probiotics: Predicting nutrients that support bacterial...
Researchers analyzing bacteria
Scientists reveal that they can predict the nutritional adaptations of Bifidobacterium strains by analyzing the distribution of metabolic genes in thousands of genomes. They note their paper offers a “critical resource” for future research and the development of personalized probiotics. Probiotic treatment often includes Bifidobacterium strains, which are considered beneficial to human health. The research highlights how carbohydrate metabolism strategies vary across and within species and how ecological factors, such as geographic location, host age, diet, and lifestyle, shape these.

New clinical research has confirmed that AB-Biotics and Kaneka Probiotics’ probiotic blend, containing two Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) strains KABP 031 and KABP 032, can alleviate occasional constipation in otherwise healthy older adults. The study also reveals that supplementation with the formula, branded KABP Mature Immune Defense and marketed as Innerim, may offer additional benefits such as stress relief. The researchers speculate that this could be a result of improved digestive health, or an influence along the gut-brain axis.
