Prenatal opioid exposure may trigger long-term neurological effects in a child’s life. The key is the opioid's impact on the developing gut microbiome.

A new computer model accurately predicts the behavior of millions of gut microbe communities from hundreds of experiments.

The co-development of three systems—the gut microbiome, respiratory system, and immune system—is correlated with a baby's respiratory health, research shows.

"Chlorination can help reduce incidence of disease, limit use of antibiotics, and still keep microbiomes healthy."

The gut microbes of male and female minks, and other carnivores are dramatically different. That matters when it comes to research, a new study shows.

Eating a lot of processed foods isn't just bad for people. Black bears who eat our junk food have less diversity in their gut microbiome.

Hippos do so much eating and therefore so much pooping in the pools where they hang out. The result: a "meta-gut."

A "healthy" gut microbiome may differ from one gorilla to another. The discovery could help diagnose potential health challenges for gorillas in human care.

Lemurs confirm the benefit of fecal transplants for off-kilter gut microbiomes. The treatment sounds gross but is effective, say researchers.
