Probiotics support your health and overall well-being by crowding out harmful pathogens, improving your intestinal barrier function, and promoting neurotransmitter production, among other benefits.

EPFL scientists have uncovered how a gut bacterium, Clostridium scindens, aids in healing intestinal injuries by restoring bile acid balance. Their findings could pave the way for new treatments for ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for successfully encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve plant growth and protect against pests and pathogens.

Cancer researchers in China who have been experimenting with bacteria may have cracked the deadliest puzzle hindering treatment of the disease: how to eliminate cancers while evading human immune ...

Fermentation enhances food preservation, and eating fermented foods can also boost the number of beneficial bacteria, or probiotics, in your gut. Fermentation is a process in which bacteria and ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...

The human gut is home to trillions of bacteria that play vital roles in digestion, immunity, and overall health. Disruption of the interaction between the gut microbiome and the host can ...

The human gut is home to trillions of bacteria that play vital roles in digestion, immunity, and overall health. When this microbial balance is disturbed, it can contribute to the development of ...
