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

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers have ...

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

and we are starting to learn more about the exact mechanisms that link those microbes and the substances they generate to changes in human health. The gut microbiome seems to have an extensive and ...

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers have shown in a new study how activity of 'good' microbes in the gut is linked ...

In 2019, Minerbi and his colleagues discovered that the gut microbiomes — the collection of microbes living in the intestines — of women with fibromyalgia differed significantly from those of ...

The human body also has to be protected from these microbes, and the gut has a lining that keeps the gut microbiome sequestered. But this lining can also degrade and become more permeable in some ...

as brain signals altered the composition of gut microbes in mice in as little as 2 hours. The finding strengthens the notion that communication along the gut-brain axis goes both ways. Receive a ...

As urban development continues to creep further into Earth's oldest and most diverse rainforests, a study reveals native and invasive small mammals aren't just adapting to their changing habitats -- ...

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 ...

Scientists have a new clue in the mystery of why younger people are getting more colon cancer. It may have to do with a toxin ...

McGill University researchers, in collaboration with colleagues in Israel and Ireland, have developed AI technology that can detect patterns in gut bacteria to identify complex regional pain ...
