The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...

The human brain is a greedy organ. It gulps energy, demands constant upkeep, and somehow grew far larger (relative to body ...

A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways associated with differences in brain size and cognitive function A new study sug ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

A groundbreaking new study reveals that changes to the gut microbiome can change the way the brain works. Humans have the largest relative brain size of any primate, but little is known about how ...

Our gut microbes and genes are in constant conversation, shaping each other in ways that affect everything from immunity and inflammation to disease risk, according to new review of scientific ...

Gut microbiome bacteria from humans can absorb PFA. Lurking in our nonstick pans, our rain jackets and even our drinking water are toxic compounds known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl ...

Most conversations about breast milk tend to focus on topics like nutrients, antibodies and bonding time rather than bacteria ...

Expelling toxic “forever chemicals” from the body may take guts — or at least, their microbes. Some microbes found in the human gut can absorb some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, ...

Lurking in our nonstick pans, our rain jackets and even our drinking water are toxic compounds known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also called “forever chemicals.” They can ...
