Probioticsare live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you, especially your digestive system. We usually think of these as germs that cause diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep your...
Willpower might be key to getting off the couch to exercise , but bacteria may lend a helping hand. Studies in mice reported today in Nature suggest bacteria in the gut (肠道) may be behind differences in the desire to work out. A research team has aimed at specific bacterial molecules ...
Fig. 1: Phylogenetic tree of 1,520 isolated gut bacteria based on whole-genome sequences. The 1,520 high-quality genomes in CGR are classified into 338 species-level clusters (ANI ≥ 95%) based on their whole-genome sequences. Bacterial species from Firmicutes are colored in orange; Bactero...
leading to cellular invasion. Intracellular bacteria may reside in isolation, or in mixed consortia, depending on the species32,33. Bacteria that are classified as intracellular occur inside the host cell for at least parts of their lifecycle. Obligate intracellular ...
"There are these trillions of bacteria in our gut that are pouring out molecules because they serve a function in our gut to digest fibre and do a whole lot of other things, and produce metabolites. "These metabolites they can enter the blood and go all over the body. "A bacteria that...
Gram-negative bacteria are attractive hosts for recombinant protein production because they are fast growing, easy to manipulate, and genetically stable in large cultures. However, the utility of these microbes would expand if they also could secrete the product at commercial scales. Secretion of biot...
The interaction of LAB with the mucosal epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract and the lymphoid cells in the gut enhance the gut immune response against ingested pathogens [26,27]. Enhancement of mucosal barrier function against ingested pathogens: It is achieved with the increasing mucus ...
However, new research shows that not only are probiotics useful, but they could even act as effective medicines -- and help you control your weight. Probiotics are the 'good' strains of gut bacteria which play an important role in digestive health and the immune system. The problem, as ma...
Rapid advances in synthetic biology are driving the development of genetically engineered microbes as therapeutic agents for a multitude of human diseases, including cancer. The immunosuppressive microenvironment of solid tumors, in particular, creates a favorable niche for systemically administered bacteria ...
Abundant links between the gut microbiota and human health indicate that modification of bacterial function could be a powerful therapeutic strategy. The inaccessibility of the gut and inter-connections between gut bacteria and the host make it difficult
