Gut bacteria may causally influence biological ageing by altering DNA methylation, with implications for microbiota-focused longevity therapies. November 2023 - Scientific Reports Key takeaways Gut microbiota's causal role: The diversity and presence of...
How the gut microbiome may predict Alzheimer’s disease
Gut microbiome composition may serve as an early indicator of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). By comparing the gut microbial profiles in cognitively normal individuals, researchers identified specific bacterial taxa associated with early preclinical AD,...
Linking lost microbes to longevity: insights from Hadza’s gut health
Researchers conducted ultra-deep sequencing of the gut microbiome from Hadza hunter-gatherers, revealing a unique composition distinct from industrialised populations. The study uncovered 91,662 genomes, 44% of which were not present in existing datasets. The Hadza...
