University of Minnesota researchers are developing a personalized approach to track how individual food choices impact the ...

The gut microbiome is intimately linked to human health and weight. Differences in the gut microbiome—the bacteria and fungi in the gut—are associated with obesity and weight gain, raising the ...

Scientists have identified more than 3,000 species of bacteria living in the human gut. We know they play a role in digestion and immune function. But can they also influence the kinds of food we ...

The gut microbiome is complex, and can be affected by the things we eat, our physical habits, our genes, and other factors. New research has shown that the gut microbiome can also evolve rapidly when ...

Hundreds of different bacterial species live in the human gut, helping us to digest our food. The metabolic processes of these bacteria are not only tremendously important to our health -- they are ...

Scientists are uncovering surprising links between aging and the trillions of microbes living in the human gut.

ASU scientists found that people whose gut microbes make more methane extract more calories from fiber-rich foods. Methanogens help the microbiome turn fiber into energy by consuming hydrogen and ...

The human gut harbors a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms (the microbiome), which influences digestion, the ...

Eating habits shape gut bacteria in children with autism, with potential dietary interventions offering hope for improving ...

The gut microbiome influences numerous physiological processes. Researchers at the University of Vienna have now demonstrated for the first time that, in healthy adults, the diversity of gut bacteria ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred microbes from different primates into mice, the animals’ brains began to ...
