Engineering the gut microbiome just became a reality
Posted by ArielTechGeek 131 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Beneficial bacteria occupy specific regions in the gut, contributing to our health via the microbiome. A new study has identified the genes that good bacteria use to colonize these regions, opening the door to creating engineered probiotics.Continue ReadingCategory: Wellness & Healthy Living, Body & MindTags: Gut Bacteria, Microbiome, Genetic engineering, Carnegie Institution for Science
Gut microbiome disruptions in infancy increase aggression later in life
Posted by ArielTechGeek 217 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Gut bacteria that have been disrupted in infancy can lead to greater aggression later in life, including causing changes to aggression-related genes, according to a new study. The findings warrant more research into the complex interplay between the gut, brain, and aggression.Continue ReadingCategory: Body & MindTags: Microbiome, Gut Bacteria, Genetics, Bar Ilan University
the bioengineered microbiome, or bacteria, ‘eats’ the air pollutants at home, thus purifying the space more effectively than a regular houseplant.
The post houseplant neo Px can purify indoor air pollution with bioengineered microbiome appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
COPD improved by tweaks to microbiome via fecal transplant or diet
Posted by ArielTechGeek 439 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Improving the health of the gut microbiome by way of fecal transplant (in mice) and dietary modification (in humans), has been shown by researchers to noticeably improve COPD symptoms. The finding could lead to microbiome-targeted treatments that provide relief to people suffering from this currently incurable condition.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Microbiome, Gut Bacteria, Lun

Scientists alter rice plant microbiome for better resistance to pathogens
Posted by ArielTechGeek 480 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The "microbiome" is the unique population of microorganisms found in and on every plant and animal. Scientists have now genetically altered that population in rice plants, making them more resistant to harmful bacteria. The technology could one day reduce the need for pesticides.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: University of Southampton, Genetic engineering, Microbiome, Bacteria, Plants, Cr
‘Smart tweezer’ can pluck out single bacterium target from microbiome
Posted by ArielTechGeek 481 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have developed a ‘smart tweezer’ that is able to pluck a particular bacterial strain from a microbiome of trillions and sequence its genome in a more cost- and resource-effective way than current methods allow. The versatile tool could enable precision microbiome research and breakthroughs in disease diagnosis and treatment.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Microbiome, B
Gut microbiome discovery could lead to new drug addiction treatments
Posted by ArielTechGeek 635 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study has provided the first evidence of a link between the gut microbiome and cocaine use and the cravings that follow withdrawal. The findings open the door to potential treatments for drug addiction and relapse prevention.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Gut Bacteria, Microbiome, Cocaine, Drugs, Wake Forest University
