The composition of the gut microbiome exhibits genus-level variations across different age groups. The early-age gut microbiome is shaped by the embryonic environment, type of delivery, and exposure ...

The gut microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in ...

Schematic representation of sleep-microbiome interactions through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Signals originating from the gut microbiome influence the sleep-wake cycle by modulating the flip-flop ...

Addressing the microbiome's translational gap involves understanding biological complexity and developing function-driven, patient-specific interventions.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...

Researchers have found that a history of repeated antibiotic use causes defects in the normally protective mucus barrier of the gut, due to antibiotic-driven alterations in the microbiota. In a ...

As human beings, we are all keepers of a vast menagerie. Every surface of our bodies, inside and out, is teeming with microorganisms. We have microbiomes on our skin, in our mouths and other orifices ...

If you want to live to a grand old age, it might help to think of yourself not as a human, but rather a holobiont – a collective of human cells plus the trillions of microbes that live in and on you.
