Microbiome and immunity: new discoveries after the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a kind of stress test for science of the human immune system. Millions of observations of the course of the disease have shown that the same virus in different people causes radically different consequences - from asymptomatic carriage to severe course. In search of an answer to the question "why so differently", researchers around the world have increasingly turned their attention not to the lungs or blood, but to the intestines.

Personalized Medicine in Action: How Ediens is Developing an Educational Path for Physicians and Transforming Medical Practice in Ukraine
Modern healthcare is undergoing a major transformation. Traditional standardized protocols focused solely on managing acute symptoms are giving way to a new paradigm— the 4Ps of medicine (preventive, personalized, predictive, and patient-centered). At the center of this scientific revolution is the human microbiome—a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms that functions as a separate organ and regulates immunity, metabolism.


Lemonade, cola or water: how sugary drinks affect the gut and oral microbiome
The modern world offers us a multitude of gastronomic temptations, among which sweet carbonated drinks, industrial lemonades, colas and packaged juices occupy almost the first place in the daily diet of city dwellers. They attract with their bright taste, quick feeling of cheerfulness and aggressive marketing. However, from the point of view of molecular biology, immunology and preventive medicine, each bottle of sweet drink is a real chemical blow to the most important prote


Choosing the health of the future: how Uzhhorod scientists overcome PTSD with the help of the microbiome
War leaves invisible wounds that sometimes hurt more than physical ones. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has become a harsh companion for thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. But where traditional medicine sometimes fails, science comes to the rescue. Today we will tell you about a breakthrough study by scientists from Uzhhorod National University, who proved: the key to treating the psyche may be hidden in our intestines.


New horizons of personalized medicine: Ediens presented breakthrough microbiome research results at UMeSCo XXIII
Modern world medicine is experiencing a tectonic shift. The era of standardized protocols “one pill for all” is gradually fading into the past, giving way to evidence-based 3P medicine — predictive, preventive, and personalized. At the center of this medical revolution is the human microbiome — a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms that functions as a separate autonomous organ and regulates almost all physiological processes in our body.


HOPE: How Ediens and VOMOND created the world's first living yogurt pearls. The future of FoodTech at SIAL Paris 2026
The modern health food industry is on the verge of a global transformation. Consumers are tired of a handful of pills and capsules, seeking to get health benefits directly from delicious, everyday food. The concept of "Food as Medicine" is turning from scientific theory into reality on supermarket shelves.


Microbiome in the heat: why the intestines work differently in the summer and how to avoid disorders
Summer is traditionally associated with rest, recovery and saturation of the body with fresh vitamins. However, for gastroenterologists and specialists in 4P medicine (personalized, predictive, preventive, patient-oriented), this season is a period of maximum workload.


Why the same probiotic can work differently in different people: Microbiome science and a personalized approach
In the modern world, caring for intestinal health has become a global trend. Advertising convinces us every day that to solve digestive problems, improve immunity or eliminate the effects of stress, it is enough to simply go to the pharmacy and buy a popular probiotic.


Summer vegetables and fruits for the microbiome: what to choose without fanaticism
With the onset of summer, we often fall into gastronomic fanaticism: we try to eat as many fresh gifts of nature as possible to saturate the body with vitamins and lose excess weight. However, gastroenterologists and microbiologists every summer record a surge in complaints of bloating, cramps, heaviness and discomfort in the abdomen after eating seemingly completely healthy food. Modern 4P medicine proves that we feed not only ourselves, but also our microbiome.


Not all bacteria need to be “killed”: why balance is important, not sterility
For decades, popular culture and advertising have taught us that bacteria are dangerous enemies. We bought antibacterial soap that “kills 99.9% of germs,” took antibiotics at the first sign of a cold, and strived for absolute sterility. However, the modern biomedical revolution and the 4Ps of medicine (personalized, predictive, preventive, patient-centered) have radically changed this view.


Is kvass really good for the intestines: debunking myths about fermented drinks
In the summer heat, the desire to quench our thirst with something cool and refreshing often leads us to the shelves with kvass, kombucha or kefir. Traditionally, it is believed that such fermented drinks are almost an elixir of health for our digestion. Marketers convince us of the presence of "live bacteria", and folk medicine has been promoting kvass for years as the best way to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. But is this really so?


Sleep in the heat and the microbiome: why sleep deprivation hits the gut
Summer heat often brings with it not only a dream vacation, but also exhausting, sleepless nights. When the temperature in the bedroom does not allow us to relax, we toss and turn in bed, and in the morning we feel broken. However, fatigue and decreased concentration are only the visible tip of the iceberg. Modern 4P medicine proves that the real blow from lack of sleep is taken by our "superorgan" - the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract.
