  Gut microbiome signatures of colorectal cancer, with Dr. Georg Zeller PhD

  Aug 7, 202630 minS0

  <p >This episode features Dr. Georg Zeller PhD from Leiden University Medical Center (the Netherlands), speaking about gut microbiome signatures of colorectal cancer across global populations. An early study Dr. Zeller completed in Peer Bork’s lab suggested that the gut microbiomes of people with colorectal cancer are distinct from controls. This signature, as well as work on the tumor microbiome, all pointed toward Fusobacterium as particularly important. Subsequent studies exploring this idea show wide variation in geography and methods. Accounting for these factors, meta-analyses have confirmed several gut microbiome characteristics that are enriched in colorectal cancer across the global po...

  Biofilms and specific bacteria in colorectal cancer development, with Prof. Cynthia L. Sears, MD

  Jul 24, 202630 minS0

  <p >This episode features Prof. Cynthia L. Sears, MD from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health (USA), speaking about both biofilms and specific gut microorganisms that may contribute to colorectal cancer development. Initially, Prof. Sears became interested in enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in connection with colon cancer. Further investigation found complex biofilms with multiple bacteria fixed to the surface of the tumor. The biofilms were shown to be oncogenic, and they reassembled very quickly after antibiotic treatment. Interestingly, the biofilms were found to have C. difficile. A subset of the biofilms have a...

  The early life gut microbiota in the developmental origins of health & disease, with Dr. Anne Salonen PhD

  Jul 6, 202630 minS0

  <p >This episode features Dr. Anne Salonen PhD from University of Helsinki (Finland) speaking about her studies on the gut microbiota in early life and how it relates to health and disease. She noted that while mode of delivery (C-section or vaginal birth) is the largest factor affecting microbiota composition for the first weeks and months of life, the immunological and functional microbiota consequences of this are still unknown. However, there appear to be ‘windows of opportunity’ in which microorganisms can influence the development of the immune system, which have lasting consequences for health. Dr. Salonen describes her Finnish HELMi birt...

  Factors affecting infant gut microbiota development, with Prof. Christopher Stewart PhD

  Jun 18, 202630 minS0

  <p >This episode features Prof. Christopher Stewart PhD from Newcastle University (UK), speaking about the factors affecting gut microbiota development in both non-preterm and preterm infants. Prof. Stewart started in the field of environmental microbial ecology and then came to work in human microbiome research. He was involved in the landmark TEDDY study, which aimed to find gut microbial markers of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although no microbial triggers of T1D were identified, the study found a number of factors that impact gut microbiome development: for example, sex, geographical location, and living with furry animals. Still, most of the...

  A mechanism linking the newborn skin microbiota to neurodevelopment, with Prof. Rihua Xie and Dr. Yuhang Zhang

  May 25, 202630 minS0

  <p >This episode features Prof. Rihua Xie from Guangdong Medical University (China) and Dr. Yuhang Zhang from Peking University First Hospital (China), speaking about vaginal microbiota transfer (VMT) and how it may affect neurodevelopment in newborn infants born by Cesarean section. Compared with vaginally delivered infants, C-section delivered infants have altered microbial exposures. VMT has been proposed as a way to ‘restore’ the microbiota of these infants to more closely resemble that of vaginally-born infants. A recent study by Prof. Xie and Dr. Zhang showed that the order and timing of early microbial colonization of the infant is important. They foun...
