15-strain live biotherapeutic product or same donor fecal microbiota transplant for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection: a randomized phase 1b trial
Nature Medicine, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04442-2A randomized, single-blind, parallel-group, phase 1b clinical trial compared fecal microbiota transplant or a 15-strain live biotherapeutic product (MTC01) derived from the same donor and found similar efficacy and engraftment between treatments.
Microbial reactivation of host androgens directs enteric neuronal regulation of gut motility
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02321-0This study shows that androgens signal to specific enteric neurons to stimulate gut motility. Bacterial metabolism of host-derived steroids generates the ligands, revealing a dynamic host–microbe interaction that influences nervous system function.
Rehumanizing global health care with agentic AI
The global health care sector is under increasing strain. Decades of chronic underinvestment and constraints in recruitment have coincided with a surge in demand for services for aging populations. Gaps in provision are already taking a toll, with fragmented access…

Evaluating reliability of automated quantitative brain morphometry from fetal T2-weighted MRI
IntroductionThree-dimensional assessment of fetal cortical morphology from MRI is essential for understanding early brain neurodevelopment. However, measurement can be affected by fetal imaging quality, number and selection of available stacks, and reconstruction methods.MethodsWe evaluated the within-session reliability of an automated…
Domain-aware domain–class adaptation network for motor execution to motor imagery EEG classification
IntroductionMotor imagery (MI) is one of the most widely used paradigms in electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). In recent years, deep learning and transfer learning techniques have been increasingly adopted to further improve MI-EEG decoding performance, thereby facilitating the practical…
