Human Microbiome

Stanford Medicine's groundbreaking study reveals that aging is marked by two sharp molecular shifts around ages 44 and 60, challenging the traditional view of gradual aging.

A robotic device to detect slippery floorings, a wearable pressure sensor to analyze gait patterns and postural deformities, an engineered microbiome and a digital microscope, are among the key technologies showcased at the annual Open House at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. 

The study revealed that ageing produces significant changes in the microbiome of the human small intestine, distinct from those caused by medications or illness burden.

According to researchers from the Genetic Science Centre at the University of Utah, over-cleaning can damage the good bacteria in your body.

Now it looks like the microbiomes in other parts of our bodies may also play an important role in disease. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic have identified significant differences in the breast bacteria of women with and without breast cancer.

Diversity is good for your gut - and red wine might help. In a pair of studies published Thursday in Science, researchers from Belgium and the Netherlands present the most comprehensive work on the human microbiome to date. After studying the poop of thousands of citizen volunteers, they've mapped out the species of bacteria that live inside their ...

Researchers have found an intermediate gut microbiome in a community of a traditional population that incorporates some westernised lifestyle practices and throws light on why modern humans suffer from lifestyle diseases.

Most DNA viruses on healthy human skin are viral 'dark matter' that have never been described before, according to researchers who used state-of-the-art techniques to survey the skin's virus population, or 'virome'.
