Using a new method to study how carbohydrates modify proteins, scientists have discovered that gut bacteria can alter molecular signatures in the brain.

Bacteria in the gut have been implicated in autoimmune diseases, like lupus, that don't primarily affect the gastrointestinal ...

Harvard researchers have found that M. morganii may contribute to depression by producing an inflammatory molecule.

In a breakthrough for the advanced study of gut health, scientists have developed a 3D microscopic version of the human intestines condensed into a small chip about half the size of a five-cent coin.

The 3D scalable 'gut-on-a-chip' model enables real-time visualisation of the interactions of gut microbes and the human ...

Our guts are home to trillions of bacteria, and research over the last few decades has established how essential they are to our physiology – in health and disease.

Using a new method to study how carbohydrates modify proteins, scientists have discovered that gut bacteria can alter ...

And Datta says the work is also important in the context of biofilms, groupings of bacteria that grow an encapsulating polymer matrix of their own. There are biofilms in the human body ...

Altered vaginal flora may also lead to development of bacterial vaginosis (due to Gardenella sp.) Probiotics can help prevent ...
