New gut microbe produces smelly toxic gas but defends against pathogens: S
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
An international team of scientists led by University of Vienna microbiologist Alexander Loy discovered new gut bacteria that just consume taurine and produce the noxious chemical hydrogen sulphide. As a result, the researchers have improved our understanding of the microbial pathways that h

Research reveals new gut microbe produces smelly toxic gas but protects ag
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
An international team of scientists led by University of Vienna microbiologist Alexander Loy identified a new gut bacteria that feeds only on taurine and creates the foul-smelling gas hydrogen sulphide. The researchers have therefore added to our understanding of those microbial mechanisms t

Study: Diet has much stronger impact than defensins on gut microbes
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
The composition of the intestinal microbiota is influenced by a variety of factors, including nutrition and the body's production of the intestinal defence molecule defensins, which has been discovered by researchers at Ume University in Sweden. Instead, they discovered a potential function

Researchers reveal diabetic retinopathy cause blindness in adults
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Diabetic retinopathy, which results in progressive damage to the blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, is the main cause of blindness in adults in the United States. However, a study suggested that the small leaky intestine, which reduces the barrier between gut

Researchers identify novel tool to unveil communication between gut microb
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
In the past decade, researchers have started appreciating the importance of two-way communication that occurs between microbes in the gastrointestinal tract and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis.

Gut microbes disturbed by COVID-19 infection, antibiotics: Research
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In an intensive look at the effects of the virus causing COVID-19 on patients' microbiome - the collection of microorganisms that live in and on the human body - Rutgers scientists found that acute infection disrupts a healthy balance between good and bad microbes in the gut, especially with

Researchers find gut-brain connection for social development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behaviour, new UO research in zebrafish shows. Pruning is essential for the development of normal social behavior.

Research helps to resolve evolutionary origins of the 'platypus of fungi'
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
About 600 seemingly disparate fungi that never quite found a fit along the fungal family tree has been shown to have a common ancestor, according to a University of Alberta-led research team that used genome sequencing to give these peculiar creatures their own classification home.
