The trillions of microbes living in the human gut are increasingly recognised as important partners in human health.

Researchers at UC Davis School of Medicine have uncovered how an imbalanced gut microbiome escalates the production of ...

Recent research indicates a link between an animal’s gut bacteria and brain function. This may be true in humans, too.

A high-fat diet can cause the intestinal lining to weaken, allowing live gut bacteria to travel directly to the brain in mice ...

Researchers find that a gut bacterium may influence muscle strength and fitness, opening the door to probiotics that support ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising connection between gut bacteria and the development of ALS and frontotemporal dementia. Their work suggests that certain microbes produce inflammatory sugars ...

A new study has for the first time elucidated the gut-liver immune regulatory axis jointly maintained by intestinal commensal bacteria and the intestinal endocrine system, and uncovered the ...

Researchers found that very small numbers of gut bacteria can translocate to the brain in mice, particularly when gut barrier ...

A study on wild northern cardinals shows that stress can change gut microbes and affect bird health in measurable ways.

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...
