An international research team has uncovered a surprising ally in the fight against insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes: a microbial metabolite called trimethylamine (TMA). Published in Nature ...

Researchers identified trimethylamine (TMA) as a gut microbe–derived metabolite that directly inhibits IRAK4 to reduce metabolic inflammation and improve glycaemic control in high-fat-diet-fed mice.

The gut microbiome, a vast assortment of bacteria and other microorganisms that inhabit our digestive system, plays a critical role in converting food into energy. Many of these microbes follow ...

Dietary choices and the gut microbiome likely play a large role in the development and management of type 2 diabetes. A recent study suggests that a certain microbial metabolite could help reduce ...

After so many years of learning how microbes work, researchers are now digitally recreating their inner workings to tackle challenges ranging from climate change to space colonization. In my work as a ...

Back when James Parkinson first described the disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease, he noticed that severe constipation can be a prelude to the signature tremors. In the 208 years since then, ...
