A new study from researchers at the Babraham Institute in the UK suggests age-related immune system decline is not irreversible, and can possibly be improved by replenishing an aging gut microbiome. The scientists discovered fecal transplants… Continue reading Gut microbiome restoration rejuvenates aging immune system in mice
A new study, led by researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, has described the discovery of a new kind of immune cell that is hypothesized to play a fundamental role in the development of type 1 diabetes, and could be… Continue reading Newly discovered “rogue hybrid” immune cell the potential trigger for type 1 diabetes
New research suggests that some of the dirt you may have eaten as a child could have contained a type of bacteria that strengthens the immune system. The study reveals the bacteria Mycobacterium vaccae can produce a unique anti-inflammatory f… Continue reading Dirt-residing bacteria produce anti-inflammatory fats that could lead to a “stress vaccine”
For thousand of years humans have been using fermentation as a way of preserving foods and engendering good gut health. A fascinating new study from scientists at the University of Leipzig has discovered that a specific immune function recept… Continue reading Fascinating study uncovers how we evolved to benefit from eating fermented food
