Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...
The human brain is a greedy organ. It gulps energy, demands constant upkeep, and somehow grew far larger (relative to body ...
The human gut microbiome is complex and diverse, with significant implications for health and disease. The study develops smRandom-seq2, a droplet-based method that overcomes the limitations of ...
A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
The mucosal surfaces that line the body are embedded with defensive molecules that help keep microbes from causing ...
Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...
A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...
Warming temperatures may cause methane emissions from wetlands to rise — by helping methane-producing bacteria thrive. Higher temperatures favor the activity of wetland soil microbes that produce the ...
Comamonadacae is a family of bacteria often found growing on plastics in water. A new study finds a bacterium in this family can break down the plastic for food. Researchers also identified the enzyme ...
