New Article – Oral Microbial Signatures Associated with Age and Frailty in Canadian Adults

Congratulations to Dr. Vanessa DeClercq, Dr. Robyn Wright, Dr. Jacob Nearing, and Dr. Morgan Langille on their latest publication, “Oral Microbial Signatures Associated with Age and Frailty in Canadian Adults” (Scientific Reports, 14). This research from the Langille Lab used biological samples and data from Atlantic PATH. It examined the association between the oral microbiome, age and frailty and found that “age and frailty are differentially associated with measures of microbial diversity and composition, suggesting the oral microbiome may be a useful indicator of increased risk of frailty or a potential target for improving health in ageing adults.” Read more about this research: https://bit.ly/3Qx2vKe

New Microbiome Publication

Congratulations to our colleagues, Dr. Jacob Nearing, Dr. Vanessa DeClercq and Dr. Morgan Langille on their new microbiome publication!! “Investigating the Oral Microbiome in Retrospective and Prospective Cases of Prostate, Colon and Breast Cancer” utilizes saliva samples from Atlantic PATH and Alberta’s Tomorrow Project to consider potential biomarkers for cancer.
