Imbalances in different species of bacteria in a baby’s gut may provide insights into their neurodevelopment.
Your gut microbes have a lot to say about how many calories you consume and how effectively your body metabolizes them.
Increasing clinical evidence links changes in the composition of the gut microbiome to the development of various skin diseases such as eczema.
The ‘indoor microbiome’ is linked to respiratory health, immune function and possibly even mental wellbeing.
Each person is home to about ten trillion viruses.
Athletes have different gut microbiomes compared with the general population. Some of these microbes are thought to improve endurance and recovery by optimizing the cell’s powerhouses.
Your upper intestine is host to a distinct population of microbes that play a role in digestion, metabolism and immunity.
A uniquely identifying population of bacteria can survive on clothes for months after a person wears them.
The brain was once thought to be sterile, thanks to the blood-brain barrier. But scientists are beginning to question this.
From kimchi to kombucha and sauerkraut to sourdough, many traditional food staples across cultures make use of fermentation. And these variations are reflected in your microbiome.
Most infection prevention guidelines center on the hospital environment rather than the patient. But the source of antibiotic-resistant microbes is often from the patient’s own body.
C butyricum promotes a robust immune system and restores out gut microflora.
Salt is an essential nutrient that has helped civilizations flavor and preserve their foods for millennia. Too much dietary salt, however, is linked to a host of health problems.
Fermented foods, such as yoghurt and kefir, are great sources of this immune-boosting microbe.
The organisms living in your gut microbiome can influence your mental and physical health. Researchers have developed a way to better test for those biological effects.
The science of smell is an exciting area of research.
Your mouth and your gut is full of them. But we don’t know if they’re friend or foe.
Here’s why a healthy balance of microbes is important for astronauts when they travel to Mars and beyond.
Weight loss and diabetes drugs target regulatory pathways involved in metabolism that the microbes in your gut and certain molecules from food already play a key role in regulating.
