Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #microbiomes, aggregated by home.social.

  1. it's been an interesting #ecology session at the #CellPress symposium on #microbiomes. learned a few things I might follow up on. An impressive representation from Dunn School at #Oxford actually.

  2. Hidden #tree #bark #microbes munch on important #climate gases
    Knowing these vast #microbiomes' preferences might help customize #reforestation plans
    The #treebark microbes feast on #hydrogen, #methane and #carbonmonoxide. Methane is a #greenhousegas 28 times more potent than #carbondioxide over a 100-yr. Carbon monoxide — which is lethal to humans — and hydrogen enhance #globalwarming indirectly, by helping methane persist longer in atmosphere.

  3. New #studies show that a #bacterial molecule, #peptidoglycan, is present in the #brain and fluctuates with #sleep patterns. This challenges the idea that sleep is solely brain-driven, instead suggesting it’s a #collaborative process between our #bodies and #microbiomes. The theory links #microbes not only to sleep but also to #cognition, #appetite, and #behavior, pointing to a profound #evolutionary relationship

  9. Big mystery, eh? Um, maybe consider that #RoundUp / #Glyphosate is altering the #microbiomes? smh...

    "The drivers of young-onset #colorectal cancer are not well understood. Some believe that the rise is due to risk factors such as obesity and diabetes. Others believe it may be related to a change in the microbiome (the unique bacterial mix that lives in our bodies), or to antibiotic exposure and dietary choices. We just do not really know the cause. "

  11. Skin flora (Microbiology 🦠)

    Skin flora, also called skin microbiota, refers to microbiota that reside on the skin, typically human skin. Many of them are bacteria of which there are around 1,000 species upon human skin from nineteen phyla. Most are found in the superficial layers of the epidermis and the upper parts of hair follicles. Skin flora is usually non-pathogenic, ...

  17. Can #glyphosate’s disruption of the gut #microbiome and induction of sulfate deficiency explain the epidemic in #gout and associated diseases in the #industrialized world?

    June 2017Journal of Biological Physics and Chemistry 17(2):53-76

    Authors: Stephanie Seneff, et al.

    "Gout is an acute or chronic #inflammatory disease characterized by intense pain, redness and swelling in joints, mainly the metatarsophalangeal joint. Gout is linked to an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. The traditional medical view holds that high dietary purines, fructose and alcohol are key causal factors. However, this does not explain the entirety of the pathophysiology. In this paper, we review the literature on gout and propose a functional
    role for the #inflammatory signaling cascade to restore vascular health. Our findings suggest that the primary factor behind the recent gout epidemic is dietary glyphosate, with #iron overload and #fungus overgrowth as secondary contributing factors. The increase in gout
    prevalence in the #UnitedKingdom correlates well with both diabetes prevalence and the use of glyphosate in #agriculture. The activities that take place in the gouty joint are directed
    towards renewing sulfate supplies to the immune cells and to the vasculature. Dangerously high serum viscosity impairs vascular sulfate synthesis, promoting crystal formation and immune cell infiltration into the joint, provoking a gout attack. The resulting complex signaling cascade leads to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) synthesis, release of ATP and reactive oxygen, and activation of enzymes that oxidize H2S to sulfate, eventually restoring sulfate supplies to themacrophages invading the synovial fluid. We urge that government regulators reassess the
    #toxicity of glyphosate to humans."
