A common, usually harmless bacteria have a significant role in causing stomach cancer, a new study has found. It joins the better-known, at least in medical circles, H. pylori bacteria as a known cancer risk. Researchers identified the bacteria’s mecha… Continue reading Another common bacteria implicated in stomach cancer
Improving the health of the gut microbiome by way of fecal transplant (in mice) and dietary modification (in humans), has been shown by researchers to noticeably improve COPD symptoms. The finding could lead to microbiome-targeted treatments that provi… Continue reading COPD improved by tweaks to microbiome via fecal transplant or diet
Our bodies are home to trillions of microbes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and a whole host of others. Now, Stanford scientists have discovered an entirely new class of biological entities inside us, which they’ve ominously named “Obelisks.”Cont… Continue reading Completely new type of “biological entity” discovered in our bodies
Researchers have chanced upon a bacteria naturally present in the gut of mosquitoes that inhibits the growth of a parasite that causes the deadliest form of malaria. Unlikely to produce resistance, the bacteria could be easily introduced in the field t… Continue reading Mosquito’s own gut bacteria found to inhibit deadly malaria parasite
A new UCLA study has found how a keto diet induces changes in the gut microbiome that could protect treatment-resistant epileptic children against seizures. The discovery could lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Keto diet’s gut changes may protect against epileptic seizures
The human body’s microbe makeup is increasingly linked to the onset of many diseases, with a lot of the focus on the gut. A new study, however, has found that changes in the bug populations in not just the gut but in salivary and urinary microbiomes ar… Continue reading Healthy oral, gut and urinary bug network can smash kidney stones
Traditionally, the humble bean doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to its impact on the gut. However, study with colorectal cancer survivors showed that certain legumes could offer a swift, significant benefit to gut health, modulating marke… Continue reading The humble bean arms the gut with surprise cancer-fighting powers
At any given time, as many as four million Americans are suffering through bouts of constipation, which has many causes but can also prove stubborn to relieve and hugely impact daily life.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Gut Bacteria, Ce… Continue reading Probiotic powers genes to relieve constipation, without upsetting gut
With more than 1,000 different bacterial species, the gut microbiome is now thought of by many researchers to be the key to unlocking disease-fighting superpowers. It’s already been linked to cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and even memory and per… Continue reading Study takes a major step towards disease-fighting microbiome therapies
Another large study has found a correlation between proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and an increased risk of dementia, particularly for those aged 60-69 years. But scientists still don’t fully understand why.
