The nation's top cancer centers just gathered with federal health leaders to accelerate research into the trillions of microorganisms in our bodies that could revolutionize how we prevent and treat cancer. The meeting marks a major push to make microbiome science a national priority.
Scientists discovered that fecal transplants from older mice actually improved fertility in younger ones, upending expectations and opening new paths for understanding gut health's role in reproduction. The surprising finding could one day lead to probiotics that support ovarian health in women.
Your morning coffee does more than wake you up. New research reveals it transforms the bacteria in your gut and directly improves your mental health.
Two scientists traveled the world collecting microscopic treasures from diverse human communities. Their groundbreaking biobank could unlock treatments for diseases and protect vanishing bacteria species.
Scientists are discovering that the secret to healthy aging might be hiding in your gut. New research shows that maintaining a youthful microbiome through diet and exercise could help you live longer and age better.
German researchers created a toothpaste that fights gum disease without killing the helpful bacteria your mouth needs. This microbiome-friendly approach could change how we care for our gums every day.
A new study reveals that babies attending daycare swap beneficial gut bacteria with their peers within just one month, building healthier, more diverse microbiomes. This natural exchange might benefit them for decades to come.
University of Minnesota researchers discovered how to prevent gum disease without killing beneficial mouth bacteria. By interrupting chemical signals that harmful bacteria use to coordinate, they can keep your oral microbiome healthier.
Scientists gave older mice their own stored young gut bacteria and completely blocked liver cancer development. The breakthrough suggests our microbiome actively drives aging, not just reflects it.
Scientists discovered that friendly gut bacteria can inject proteins directly into human cells, actively controlling immune responses. This breakthrough explains how the microbiome influences conditions like Crohn's disease.
Scientists reversed brain aging in older mice using gut microbiome transplants from younger animals. The breakthrough suggests new possibilities for treating conditions like lazy eye that doctors once thought only fixable in childhood.
Scientists have discovered that healthy gut bacteria can inject their own proteins directly into human cells, actively shaping immune responses in ways never seen before. This groundbreaking find could explain why certain gut microbiome changes are linked to diseases like Crohn's.
Scientists discovered that breast milk contains beneficial bacteria that actively seed and shape an infant's gut microbiome, affecting digestion, metabolism, and immune development. This groundbreaking study nearly doubles the available research data on breast milk's microscopic ecosystem.
Researchers turned back the clock on aging livers by restoring youthful gut bacteria in older mice. None of the treated mice developed liver cancer, while untreated aging mice did.
Scientists have discovered a mysterious group of gut bacteria that shows up consistently in healthy people across the globe. The finding could reshape how we understand and protect our gut health.
Scientists discovered that human genetics strongly influences mouth bacteria and cavity risk, revealing why some people struggle with tooth decay despite good brushing habits. The breakthrough could lead to personalized dental care based on your DNA.
Scientists can now tell which microorganisms actually live inside tumors versus which ones are just contamination, opening doors to personalized cancer treatments. The breakthrough tool called PRISM solves a problem that has confused researchers for years.
Scientists found that beneficial intestinal worms can only fight inflammation when you eat enough fiber. Without it, the worms hibernate and lose their healing powers.
Researchers discovered living yeast in the gut of Ötzi the Iceman, a mummy frozen for over 5,300 years, and successfully baked sourdough bread with it. The ancient microbes offer a rare window into prehistoric life and could help clean up contaminated environments.
Korean scientists found that a natural compound produced by gut bacteria dramatically strengthens vaccine effectiveness and infection protection. The breakthrough could make future vaccines safer, cheaper, and more powerful.
