the estimate for the entire body was thus 100 trillion bacteria. In 1977, Professor Savage's team compared this number to that of human cells (10 trillion), arriving at the now-famous ratio.

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

In a breakthrough for the advanced study of gut health, NUS scientists have developed a 3D microscopic version of the human ...

This complex microbial dance seems to have a really important role in our health. Oral diseases and even oral cancers have ...

Inside the human body, the immune system is confronted with a similar threat from microbial tricksters that seek to breach the body’s defenses to perpetuate their own survival. To move stealthily ...

This interplay highlights how gut microbes interact with the host body in a dynamic, give-and-take relationship." Importantly, BA-MCYs were also detected in human blood samples, indicating that ...

Our intestines contain trillions of bacteria, fungi ... The GMoC system provides a realistic in vitro (outside the body) model of the human gut, featuring a 3D version of the gut epithelium ...

In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean’s upper layer. Some ...

They found these obelisks in the gut, mouths, and even in human stool, from people on different continents. Many of these obelisks only loosely resembled each other, so there are likely different ...

as in the human gut, mimics key structural and physiological features of the gut lining, allows for diverse communities of microbes to be cultivated, and is designed for easy and real-time ...

It simulates biological conditions (like food movement and oxygen levels) as in the human gut, mimics key structural and physiological features of the gut lining, allows for diverse communities of ...
