Scientists at the University of Cambridge have identified gut bacteria strains capable of removing harmful PFAS "forever chemicals" from the body. The research, published in Nature Microbiology, ...

The human gut is a virtual zoo, full of a wide variety of bacteria, a new study found. And scientists say that's a good thing. The first results of an international effort to catalogue the ...

Gut bacteria may help eliminate toxic PFAS chemicals, but more research is needed before recommending microbial therapies.

'We found that certain species of human gut bacteria have a remarkably high capacity to soak up PFAS from their environment at a range of concentrations, and store these in clumps inside their cells.

In the 1970s, researchers suspected that the human genome might not carry the gene for this enzyme when they found a few bacterial species that break down bilirubin, revealing that the human gut’s ...
