Repeated head impacts, even if minor, can have biological effects.
The results may inform programs to preserve microbial diversity while delivering essential care.
Monitoring the gut microbiota could in the future help understand, diagnose, or manage Sjögren syndrome.
Microbial communities may be engineered at the protein-expression level because bacteria adjust their protein production in response to specific neighbors.
MOZAIC, an AI model designed to compare donor and recipients microbiotas, predicted the microbiota convergence after FMT with an accuracy of about 80%.
According to Stephen Michael Collins, McMaster University, these vesicles may represent not only a new component of the microbiota–gut–brain axis, but also a promising platform for future targeted drug, vaccine…
Supplementation with key beneficial bacteria, alongside efforts to reduce breastfeeding barriers, may offer scalable strategies to reduce socioeconomic health disparities.
Targeting specific bacterial strains, rather than overall gut diversity, can help develop effective microbiota therapies.
Uncultured gut bacteria, particularly one group called CAG-170, are key contributors to a healthy microbiota.
E. coli 541-15 helps the colon recruit key immune cells that can develop into macrophages.
