For more than a century, scientists have treated the brain as the undisputed command center of human evolution, with the rest ...

Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...

A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...

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

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

By transplanting gut microbes from humans, squirrel monkeys and macaques into germ-free mice, scientists reveal that ...

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 ...

This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...

The human gastrointestinal tract houses roughly 100 trillion microorganisms (good bacteria). These microorganisms make up ...

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 ...

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, ...

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