The gut microbiome impacts the brain
What we eat and how it is processed by the gut is proving to be more important that ever. Research is showing that the gut microbiome has a significant impact on the brain. Brain health in impacted in significant ways both negatively and positively based upon the gut microbiome. Structural bacterial components can stimulate the brain to improve the immune system. When the gut microbiome is ...

ART and the Vaginal Microbiome
The link between the vaginal microbiome and pregnancy outcomes is so strong that someone’s vaginal microbiome can actually be used to predict IVF success What is the vaginal microbiome? Your vaginal microbiome is the community of microbes living in your vagina. A healthy vaginal microbiome typically has low diversity and is dominated by a type of good bacteria called Lactobacillus that ...

Could Probiotics be the Future of Vaginal Health?
A healthy vagina is home to a diversity of microbes that work in tandem to keep an acidic environment in check. But this balance of flora can be easily disrupted, or shift throughout the menstrual cycle. This is where probiotics might come in, to help replenish the good bacteria, and curb the bad. Probiotics and the vaginal microbiome The billions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes ...

“Harmless” Bacteria Cause Autoimmune Disease
Organs influenced by immune dynamics in the gut.(1) A Gut Check for Tumor Overgrowth Enzymes Work Better in a Cage Are IPS Cells Safe for Therapeutic Use? Factors contributing to autoimmune disease development. (2) The human body is the site of a flagrant yet silent invasion. We host as many foreign organisms in and on us as we have cells that make up our own body. A particular ...

What Is Microbiome and How to Study It
The term microbiome comes from the Greek word micro which means small and bios meaning life. It is defined as "a characteristic microbial community occupying a reasonable well-defined habitat which has distinct physiochemical properties". Many researchers in the past defined microbiome based on different contexts such as ecological and genetic aspects. However, scientists noted some gaps in these ...

Human Intestinal Ecosystem Analysis
The gut is a complex ecosystem that contains an extremely large community of microbes known as the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is made up of bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, and other eukaryotic microorganisms, including yeasts, flagellates, ciliates, and protozoa. The gut microbiota of a healthy individual consists of six phyla (Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, ...

What is the difference between infection and disease?
Disease-causing microbes are often found in the human microbiome. So, when does the presence of pathogenic microbes indicate an infection? And when does the presence of infection explain disease? What is an infection? What is a disease? A disease associated with microbes is the outcome of interaction(s) between a microbe(s) and its host in which the host suffers some sort of damage. ...

The Relationship Between the Gut Microbiome and Drugs Is Greater Than We Thought
Gut microbes are considered "virtual organs" that influence host health and are involved in disease research. The human gut microbiota has a large gene pool, encoding approximately 100-150 times more genes than the human genome, and contains a rich resource of enzymes with the ability to metabolize drugs. The diversity of gut bacteria also affects the mental health of the host. Microbiomes from ...

What does the environment have to do with diseases that affect the immune system?
The rise in recent decades of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis suggests that factors in the environment are contributing. In 1932, New York gastroenterologist Burrill Crohn described an unusual disease in 14 adults. The patients had bouts of abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and lesions and scars on the bowel wall. Doctors in other parts of North America and ...
