Saharan dust storms are increasingly intense, depositing microorganisms over Europe. A study in Portugal found bacteria in dust that could act as natural fertilizers, potentially benefiting crop growth, especially in vineyards.
Saul Justin Newman's "Morbid" challenges the anti-ageing industry, arguing it exploits fear of death with misleading science. The book debunks claims of extreme longevity and exposes fraudulent data in "Blue Zones," criticizing entrepreneurs like Dan Buettner and biohackers.
A new study reveals that romantic partners share about 44% of their oral microbiome and 19% of their gut microbiome. Researchers analyzed data from 207 households in Italy and Fiji, quantifying microbe transmission rates and identifying potential links between transmissible microbes and health risks like Type 2 diabetes.
A Chinese study published in Nature Genetics found differences in vaginal microbiomes between American and Chinese women, noting higher prevalence and virulence of a bacterium linked to bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth in American women, emphasizing the need for localized treatments and filling a knowledge gap for Asian populations.
Chinese scientists have identified significant differences in vaginal microbiomes between American and Chinese women. A bacterium linked to bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth is more prevalent and virulent in American women, highlighting the need for localized treatments and advancing global microbiome research.
Cientistas descobriram quatro tipos de levedura nos intestinos de Ötzi, o "Homem do Gelo" da Idade do Bronze. Essa levedura, capaz de sobreviver a temperaturas de congelamento, foi cultivada e usada para fazer pão e cogita-se produzir cerveja. A descoberta também sugere usos para decompor produtos químicos.
A new study reveals that Ötzi the Iceman, Europe's oldest mummy, harbors a microbiome with surprising microbial diversity and continuity. Researchers found that some microbes may have survived in forms blurring the line between ancient residue and ongoing biological activity, potentially even tolerating conservation chemicals.
A study of the 5300-year-old 'Iceman Ötzi' found ancient and modern microbes, some potentially metabolically active. Researchers identified bacteria and fungi, including cold-adapted yeasts, suggesting some microbes may survive and even thrive under current preservation conditions, though no damage to the remains has been observed.
Thương hiệu P/S giới thiệu công nghệ Microbiome trong kem đánh răng Pro-Care tại Hội nghị Nha khoa Châu Á - Thái Bình Dương lần thứ 47 ở Việt Nam, tập trung vào việc cân bằng hệ vi sinh vật khoang miệng thay vì chỉ diệt khuẩn.
A 14-day avocado challenge is gaining traction, with experts suggesting daily consumption can lead to significant physiological changes. This trend is supported by recent research indicating improvements in cardiovascular health, gut microbiome diversity and blood pressure regulation within this short timeframe. The benefits stem from avocados' rich monounsaturated fats, fiber and potassium content.
UCL researchers discovered signature changes in gut microbiome that identify people at greater risk of Parkinson's disease before symptoms develop. The study found 176 gut microbe species differed in Parkinson's patients, with similar changes in those with genetic risk but no symptoms. The findings raise hopes for dietary interventions and treatments that reshape the microbiome to prevent or delay the disease.
