Venice, Italy – The International Society of Microbiota (ISM) is pleased to announce the upcoming symposium on probiotics and microbiota supplements. The symposium will take place on October 17, 2023, in Venice, Italy, one day prior to the 10th World Congress on Targeting Microbiota 2023.
About ISM 2023 Symposium:
The symposium will focus on the strain specificity of probiotics and microbiota supplements and their clinical applications for disease management. It will also elaborate on the use and mode of action of postbiotics and metabolites like the SCFA butyrate.
Speakers will present the latest research on the use of probiotics to treat a variety of conditions, including cancer, metabolic syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Topics & Sessions:
Introduction to Probiotics and Microbiota Supplements
Strain Specificity: Why It Matters
Probiotics in Cancer Treatment
Probiotic Strains for Metabolic Syndromes
Probiotic Strains, Depression and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Clinical Recommendations: A Guide for Healthcare Providers
Probiotics Pitch: Spotlight on Clinical
Research Companies that employ probiotics in their products and possess clinical data validating their product's efficacy in treating diseases are invited to share their clinical results. You can contact the International Society of Microbiota to know more.
ISM 2023 Symposium Outcome:
Upon completion of the symposium, participants should possess a robust understanding of the integration of these supplements into patient care, promoting a tailored and evidence-driven treatment strategy.
“The goal of this symposium is to provide clinicians and healthcare practitioners with the latest information on the use of probiotics and microbiota supplements”, said Prof. Marvin Edeas, founder and chairman of the International Society of Microbiota. “We believe that this symposium will be a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the clinical significance of these supplements.”
The symposium is open to all healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists. Registration is now open and can be completed online at www.microbiota-site.com.
More about the ISM 10th World Congress on Targeting Microbiota:
This 3-day event from October 17th to October 19th will dedicate the first day for the symposium along with microbiota business workshop. On October 18 and 19 Targeting Microbiota 2023 Conference will be held with attendees from more than 35 countries.

While self-driving vehicles (SDVs) are being hailed as a solution for safer, more efficient roads, new research suggests British Columbians are not quite ready to embrace self-driving cars wholeheartedly – and will need a period of gradual transition before adoption.
The study, conducted by the Research on Active Transportation Lab (REACT) at the University of British Columbia, reveals mixed perceptions of automated vehicles, particularly their effects on pedestrian comfort and safety.
Do self-driving cars feel safe?
Four out of 10 participants (41 per cent) thought that pedestrians faced reduced safety and comfort levels ...
HOUSTON ― The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Highlights showcases the latest breakthroughs in cancer care, research and prevention. These advances are made possible through seamless collaboration between MD Anderson’s world-leading clinicians and scientists, bringing discoveries from the lab to the clinic and back.
Recent developments include a novel computational tool to detect single base pair DNA changes in single-cell sequencing data, a potential target to treat hypertension caused by drugs commonly used in organ transplants, further insights into the steps involved in ...
Research conducted at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health detected significant levels of metals in the blood and urine among marijuana users, concluding that marijuana may be an important and under-recognized source of lead and cadmium exposure. This is among the first studies to report biomarker metal levels among marijuana users and most likely the largest study to date, that links self-reported marijuana use to internal measures of metal exposure, rather than just ...
Researchers led by Hiroshi Ohno at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) in Japan have discovered a type of gut bacteria that might help improve insulin resistance, and thus protect against the development of obesity and type-2 diabetes. The study, published August 30 in the scientific journal Nature, involved genetic and metabolic analysis of human fecal microbiomes and then corroborating experiments in obese mice.
Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreas in response to blood sugar. Normally, it helps get the sugar ...

Researchers identify stem cells in the thymus for the first time
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified stem cells in the human thymus for the first time. These cells represent a potential new target to understand immune diseases and cancer and how to boost the immune system.
The thymus is a gland located in the front part of the chest, the place where thymocytes (the cells in the thymus) mature into T ...

Researchers have developed a miniature battery that could be used to power tiny devices integrated into human tissues.
The design uses an ionic gradient across a chain of droplets – inspired by how electric eels generate electricity.
The device was able to regulate the biological activity of human neurons.
This could open the way to the development of tiny bio-integrated devices, with a range of applications in biology and medicine.
University of Oxford researchers have made a significant step towards realising miniature ...
A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine. The discovery is a significant advance in cell biology, likely solves a long-standing mystery about an unusual feature of some ion channels and has implications for the development of drugs targeting these proteins and for drug delivery.
Ion channels are ubiquitous in the cell membranes of higher organisms. ...
AURORA, Colo. (Aug. 30, 2023) – Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have made a `paradigm shifting’ discovery on the mechanisms required for learning and memory that could lead to new therapies for Alzheimer’s disease and potentially Down syndrome.
The study was published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
For over 30 years, researchers believed that LTP or long-term potentiation, which is crucial for learning and memory, required enzymatic actions by an enzyme known as CaMKII.
But a team of researchers led by Ulli ...
Modern medicine depends on antibiotics to treat infections by disabling targets inside bacterial cells. Once inside these cells, antibiotics bind to certain sites on specific enzyme targets to stop bacterial growth. Randomly occurring changes (mutations) in the genes for these targets occur naturally, in some cases making the target harder for the antibiotic to attach to, and that bacterial version resistant to treatment.
For this reason, the more antibiotics have been used over time, the greater the chances that bacterial populations will evolve to have mutants resistant to existing antibiotics, and the more urgent the call for new approaches ...
