San Diego biotech collects baby poop to reveal health of the microbiome
A lab employee at Persephone Biosciences pulled bacteria samples out of the tank in which they’re stored in small boxes at minus 200 degrees Celsius (minus 328 F). This is infant bacteria, which Persephone CEO Stephanie Culler calls her “company assets.” And where do they come from? “This is our baby poop kit!” Culler said. …
How ultraprocessed foods affect gut microbiome and health
Several studies have demonstrated a potential link between ultra-processed foods (UPF) and chronic inflammation. One recent review published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology describes the mechanistic association between the consumption of UPF and chronic medical conditions, especially those involving the gut microbiome. Study: Ultra-processed Foods and Human Health: From Epidemiological Evidence to Mechanistic Insights. Image …

Can a Healthier Gut Microbiome Boost Mood?
It’s home to trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microscopic germs. Welcome to your gut microbiome. It’s housed in your intestines and has been nicknamed the body’s “second brain” ⎯ with research suggesting the gut microbiome is responsible for communicating with the nervous system and immune system, ultimately, yes, affecting overall mood. …
Exploring the vital connection between gut microbes, physical activity, and health
Our bowels accommodate billions of active microbes that affect the health, a fact that is arousing increasing interest also among athletes. For example, performance-enhancing intestinal microbe populations have been found in athletes participating in endurance sports. There is also research evidence for the notion that physical activity produces health-promoting changes in the bowels. Sanna Lensu …
Study shows how different microbiomes could be harnessed to boost human health
There’s a lot of interest right now in how different microbiomes–like the one made up of all the bacteria in our guts–could be harnessed to boost human health and cure disease. But Daniel Segrè has set his sights on a much more ambitious vision for how the microbiome could be manipulated for good: “To help …
HEALTH AND FITNESS: Exercise and the gut microbiome | Features
We tend to think of bacteria as something to avoid. Germophobes beware, but our bodies are literally covered and filled with bacteria. From our skin to the lining of our GI tract, bacteria are literally part of us. For sure, some bacteria are harmful, but many more play an important role in our health. The …
Rural Lifestyle Leads to Healthier Skin Microbiome in Dogs and Owners
In urban environments, allergic diseases are more common among dogs and their owners compared to those living in rural areas. Simultaneous allergic traits appear to be associated with the microbes found in the environment, but microbes relevant to health differ between dogs and humans. In a joint research project known as DogEnvi, researchers from …
