As interest in microbiome therapeutics continues to grow, discussions often focus on scientific discoveries, clinical research and emerging treatment approaches. However, one of the most important factors supporting the responsible development of the field is regulation. From faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to next generation microbiome therapeutics, regulatory frameworks play a fundamental role in helping ensure […]
Introduction Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) involves transferring gut bacteria from a healthy donor to a recipient to help restore microbiome balance. As interest in microbiome-based therapies has increased, so too has the focus on the quality, safety and consistency of FMT preparations. The quality of any FMT preparation begins with the donor material. Robust donor […]
May 2026 Mental health is shaped by a combination of psychological, social, and biological factors. In recent years, the gut microbiome has become an area of growing scientific interest within this broader context. Research into the gut microbiome and mental health has expanded significantly in recent years, reflecting growing interest in how biological systems interact […]
The human gut is home to a complex and dynamic microbial ecosystem that plays a fundamental role in digestion, immune function, and overall health. Beyond these functions, the gut microbiome also acts as a critical line of defence against the colonisation of potentially harmful microorganisms. When this balance is disrupted, the gastrointestinal environment can become […]
