Published in Nature, the study followed 714 mother–infant pairs from pregnancy through the first year after birth to track how the infant gut microbiome develops and where its bacterial strains originate

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. 

“My research suggests that certain types of brainwaves and dreams may reflect or influence the health of our brains, the speed at which our bodies age, and how long we will live,” said Dr Abidemi Otaiku (Department of Brain Sciences and UK Dementia Research Institute Care Research & Technology, and Guarantors of Brain 2025 Fellow)

“Universal” biological signatures of aging shared across different mammalian species—including humans—could offer new clues to identifying longevity and antiaging treatments or interventions, a new study finds

The human gut is home to trillions of beneficial microbes that play a crucial role in health. Disruptions in this delicate community of bacteria and viruses — called the gut microbiome — have been linked to obesity, asthma and cancer, among other illnesses. Yet quick diagnostic tools to identify issues within the microbiome that could be…
