The strongest associations with weight loss success or failure, independent of BMI, are found in the genetic capacity of the gut microbiome, new research from…
When it rains, plants are not only showered with water, but also microbes. These rain-borne microbes have the opportunity to become part of a plant’s…
Flavonoids found in plants and plant foods such as berries, apples, tea, wine and dark chocolate are known to offer health benefits, including some protective…
With age, a diet lacking in the essential amino acid tryptophan — which has a key role in our mood, energy level, and immune response…
Fasting before and during exposure to Salmonella enterica bacteria protects mice from developing a full-blown infection, in part due to changes in the animals’ gut…
Research from APC Microbiome Ireland (APC) at University College Cork (UCC) published on August 9, 2021, in the leading international scientific journal Nature Aging introduces…
Technique for editing bacterial genomes can record interactions between cells, may offer a way to edit genes in the human microbiome. Biological engineers at MIT…
Levels of natural antimicrobial molecule fluctuate on a circadian rhythm prompted by resident gut bacteria, study shows. The body’s ability to prevent food poisoning by…
Andrographolide, a popular herbal medicine in Southeast Asia, might restore gut microbiomes and viromes that have been altered by chronic multi-symptom illnesses like Gulf War…
Exposure to antibiotics in utero or after birth could lead to brain disorders in later childhood, says Rutgers researcher. Antibiotic exposure early in life could…
Significantly fewer gut bugs linked to neurotransmitter activity. Children with autism seem to have a distinctive and underdeveloped range and volume of gut bacteria (microbiome)…
