Socially transmissible microbes may influence human health and play a hidden role in social evolution.
By examining the gut-brain-microbiota axis in typical neurodevelopment, the findings could pave the way for identifying biomarkers for cognition and brain development.
The findings of a recent study shed light on why gut microbiota diversity protects against infection. The results may also inform the design of pathogen-resistant microbial communities.
The findings of a recent study suggest that the crosstalk between gut microbes and the host’s immune system can influence the body’s defenses during cancer therapy.
The findings of a recent study suggest that L. reuteri eases social difficulties in autistic children.
The findings of a recent study suggest that modulating the gut microbiota in people with liver cancer can improve their health outcomes after surgery.
The findings of a recent study suggest that in bacterial vaginosis, certain vaginal microbes disrupt the protective glycans on vaginal epithelial cells, altering processes that mediate cell turnover, death and…
The findings of a recent study suggest that different factors, including maternal seeding and phage persistence in the gut, contribute to the colonization of the gut by phages.
The findings of a recent study show that specific gut microbes and their metabolites affect cognition and memory when transplanted into germ-free mice.
Although a causative relationship between obesity and gut microbes remains unclear, microbiota-based treatments may help to combat obesity.
