A new study from the University of Oulu suggests that gut bacteria may send different biological signals in Parkinson’s disease. The findings add to growing evidence that changes in the gut could be linked to Parkinson’s disease and may eventually help researchers identify new underlying mechanisms for the condition. 

For years, a lot of the science around the gut microbiome has come from a relatively small part of the world. Researchers have studied what lives inside our intestines, how those microbes interact with our food and health, and what they might have to do with diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

A recent study found that the gut microbiomes of South Asian populations differ from those reported in other parts of the world and are shaped by factors including…

In a breakthrough study, ZOE scientists have identified 100 specific gut bacteria species that serve as reliable markers for heart and metabolic health

Inside all of us there’s a bustling community of trillions of cells that influences numerous aspects of our health. We call it our “microbiome”
