With a new $2 million federal grant, a researcher with the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine will lead a team to further explore preliminary fi

This article talks about using SPT Labtech's Dragonfly Discovery system for microbiome research. Thismethod allows thousands of single bacterial strains to be isolated efficiently in one culture event,overcoming the limitations of traditional methods.

A clinical trial reported in 2021 and conducted by a team of researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research in Dhaka, Bangladesh, showed that a newly designed therapeutic food aimed at repairing malnourished children's underdeveloped gut microbiomes was superior to a widely used standard therapeutic food.

<p>New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has identified key, naturally occurring biochemical components of a novel therapeutic food that is aimed at repairing malnourished children’s underdeveloped gut microbiomes. The study also has identified the important bacterial strains that process these biochemical components. The findings may help guide treatment with a current food formulation and enable creation of new, more effective formulations in t...

Switching the flies’ diet to a low calorie one remained a reliable way to extend lifespan even for old flies in ill health

Scientists fed fruit flies a diet to make them extra plump. In their old age, the researchers put them on a diet and found remarkable results. If the findings transfer to humans, it might mean we can improve our health at any age by cutting calories.

New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has identified key naturally occurring biochemical components of a novel therapeutic food that is aimed at repairing malnourished children’s underdeveloped gut microbiomes. The findings may help guide treatments for malnutrition.
