But they also interact with the human nervous system. Microbes can produce compounds that affect the way neurons work. They ...

Researchers have developed the Human Intestinal Bacteria Collection (HiBC), comprising 340 gut bacterial strains from 198 ...

The human body has several distinct microbiomes—on the skin, in the mouth and in our airways—but the most consequential one for health is probably in the digestive system, commonly called the gut ...

Gut microbes can regulate the exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas and hormone production of the gastrointestinal tract, findings that may help develop potential treatments for diabetes ...

Within our gut live trillions of microorganisms, mostly in the form of dense, organized communities along the intestinal lining. These microbial clusters, known as biofilms, are dynamic ecosystems ...

This rarely explored area of the gut flora could provide important indications of previously overlooked connections between microbes and health. It appears that only through the specific isolation ...

The 3-day gut reset aims to reset the gut microbiome to help boost the beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. However, there is little evidence that 3-day gut resets have lasting health benefits.

These could be having downstream effects on the microbes in our gut like E. coli. "It's been really perplexing," says Dr. Neelendu Dey, a gastroenterologist whose lab focuses on the gut microbiome at ...
