Dr. Asnicar et al. sequenced the genes of 1203 gut microbiomes obtained from the participants of the Personalized Responses to Dietary Composition Trial (PREDICT 1) study. The subjects’ dietary information was […]

An imbalance in the gut microbiome, known as dysbiosis, can profoundly affect the MGB axis, leading to changes in microbial composition and function. Recent evidence underscores the link between microbiota changes and neurological and […]
