Meanwhile, many studies have shown that resisting colonization byV. choleraeand other infectious bacteria depends to a large extent on so-called “commensal” microbes in the gut. Commensal microbes, and especially human gut ones, have not been researched much in terms of interaction withV. cholera...
Understanding how microbes in the gut interact with the body could lead scientists and doctors to new a understanding and novel treatments for diseases say scientists from Imperial College London andtext editorEmerging Infectious Diseases
Moreover, different microorganims, which are commonly present in a large diversity of food products, transit through our gut every day adding in some cases a beneficial effect to our health (probiotics). This crosstalk is concentrated mainly in the intestinal epithelium, where microbes provide the...
larger-brained mammals require more energy to support brain growth and maintenance. Exactly which biological changes allowed human ancestors to meet the very high needs for energy as they evolved larger brains has remained unclear. A newNorthwestern Universitystudy points to the role of gut microbes,...
The microbiota in the human gut is the source of our 'second genome', and sequencing is revealing its secrets.Credit: ChrisChrisW / iStock / Getty Images Microbiome research is changing how we see ourselves as humans. The body harbours at least as many microbial cells as human cells, and...
Humans live in a symbiotic relationship with gut microbes: we provide them with a constant source of nutrition, while in return they help us in a variety of ways including enabling optimal brain development and subsequent functioning (Geurts et al., 2013, Chen et al., 2013). Many human gene...
Cho says there are about as many bacteria in an average human body as there are grains of sand on a mile-long stretch of beach. The mix of bacteria that flourishes in each of us makes up our microbiome. But how does the microbiome affect our health and well-being? Studies are beginning...
The microbes living on and in you can change your mood, your mind and your health - challenging our ideas about human nature
There are about a hundred trillion microbes living inside your gut -- protecting you from infection, aiding digestion and regulating your immune sy... 其它视频 17:41 David Christian: The history of our world in 18 minutes 40 人观看
The human body has several distinct microbiomes—on the skin, in the mouth and in our airways—but the most consequential one for health is in the digestive system, commonly called thegut microbiome. The millions of microbes in the large intestine constantly exchange chemical signals with the bo...
