Good morning everyone! In today’s microbiome digest, we have multiple research and review articles focusing on the role of microbiome in Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, Gastric Cancer, Allergy, Gut-Brain axis, Schizophrenia, Paediatric Crohn’s Disease, Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Alveolar Osteitis, Renal Failure, Cholecystokinin Expression, Lipid Metabolism Disorder, Regulation of Blood Pressure and an independent section on Fecal Microbiota Transplantation. Additionally, two very interesting metagenomic studies have discovered specific microbial signature as well as link with choline degradation in the colorectal cancer patients. Enjoy reading.
