A new study suggests gut microbes can help protect humans from toxic, long-lasting "forever chemicals." Scientists at the University of Cambridge have identified that a natural "gut microbiome could ...

A new study published in Nature Microbiology has reported a naturally occurring family of bacterial species in the human gut that can absorb and break down toxic, long-lasting "forever chemicals" and ...

Everywhere you go, you carry a population of microbes in your gastrointestinal tract that outnumber the human cells making up ...

The trillions of microbes that live in the human gut may play a bigger role in health than previously thought, according to new research by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The article, published ...

Lurking in our nonstick pans, our rain jackets and even our drinking water are toxic compounds known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also called “forever chemicals.” They can ...
