Health Gut microbes could be key to fighting toxic, long-lasting 'forever chemicals,' research says Study reveals human microbiome could protect against PFAS that are 'so widespread that they're ...

The most comprehensive cell map of the human gut to date has been created by combining spatial and single-cell data from 1.6 million cells.

The average human gut contains roughly 100 trillion microbes, many of which are constantly competing for limited resources. "It's such a harsh environment," says César de la Fuente, Presidential ...

So we eat and drink plastics on a daily basis. The component chemicals of plastics – such as bisphenol A (BPA) – have long been found in the human body. Until now, scientists thought this was ...

In a breakthrough for the advanced study of gut health, scientists have developed a 3D microscopic version of the human intestines condensed into a small chip about half the size of a five-cent ...

A new methane-producing archaeal species, Methanobrevibacter intestini sp. nov., and a variant of Methanobrevibacter smithii (GRAZ-2) have been identified in the human gut. M. intestini produces ...

Bacteria commonly found in the human gut could potentially be used to gather up PFAS and carry them out as waste, researchers suggest in a study published this week in Nature Microbiology.
