The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...

Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

By transplanting gut microbes from humans, squirrel monkeys and macaques into germ-free mice, scientists reveal that ...

A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...

Microbes often display cooperative behavior in which individual cells put in work and sacrifice resources to collectively ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

Gut bacteria rapidly adapt to processed food additives, revealing how modern diets can reshape microbial evolution worldwide.

As the human species has evolved over millions of years, there have been some steady companions - microbes. New research published in the journal Science looks at how those microbes have been passed ...

Gut bacteria evolve rapidly in response to different diets, UCLA evolutionary biologists report in a new study. The researchers found that gene variants that help microbes digest starches found in ...
