          Gut Microbiota Transplants May Cause Long-Term Imbalance

          New research warns that fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) can lead to long-lasting mismatches in gut regions, causing metabolic and behavioral shifts. While FMT aims to restore gut health by transplanting stool microbes from healthy donors, most microbes come from the colon and may colonize unintended regions like the small intestine.

          Fecal Bacteria Transplant May Improve Parkinson’s Symptoms

          A new clinical trial revealed fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as a potential new treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD), showing significant improvement in motor symptoms. The study explores the connection between the gut microbiome and Parkinson's, finding that patients with PD often exhibit altered gut bacteria and increased intestinal inflammation.

          Fecal Transplants Reverse Hallmarks of Aging

          Transplanting fecal microbiota from young mice to older mice reversed hallmark signs of aging in the gut, brains, and eyes. Transplanting the fecal microbiota from old to young mice had the reverse effect, inducing inflammation in the brain and depleting a key protein associated with healthy vision.

          Fecal Implants Drive Behavioral and Cognitive Changes in Alzheimer’s Model

          Modulating the gut's microbiome by fecal implants induced behavioral and cognitive changes in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers say the findings could help develop therapies to stall dementia via probiotic use and fecal transplantation.

          Gut bacteria influence autism-like behaviors in mice

          Using germ-free mouse models, researchers transplanted fecal bacteria from children on the autism spectrum and neurotypical children. Mice who received the transplants from the ASD cohort began to exhibit autism-like behaviors, whereas the mice who received transplants from typically developing children did not. Additionally, the mice showed altered gene expression in their brains and differences in types of metabolites present. In particular, the ASD mice had lower levels of 5AV and taurine. Findings suggest gut microbiota regulates autism-like behaviors via the production of neuroactive metabolites, providing further evidence for the gut-brain axis connection to the pathology of autism.

          Transplanting gut bacteria alters depression-related behavior, brain inflammation in rats

          The gut microbiome contributes to depression-like behaviors and inflammation in the ventral hippocampus, according to a new rat study. Fecal transplants from rats with lower levels of Clostridia reduced depressive behaviors and inflammation in vulnerable rodents.

          Autism symptoms reduced nearly 50% two years after fecal transplant

          Arizona State University researchers claim microbiota transfer therapy reduces symptoms associated with autism and gastrointestinal problems for two years post-treatment. The study suggests MTT may be a promising option for helping to treat children with ASD who also have GI problems. The researchers stress further research, including double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trials with a larger cohort be carried out.

          Researchers report a link between gut bacteria and psychological distress associated with obesity. Switching mice to high fat diets, researchers reported the animals experienced more depressive and anxiety symptoms. These were improved when antibiotics that alter the gut bacteria were administered.
