Bakterie v našich střevech ovlivňují naši náladu, imunitu, rychlost stárnutí i to, jestli máme chuť na 🍫 nebo 🥕🥦. Jak „druhý mozek“ funguje a co mu prospívá, zkoumá Martin Schwarzer @schwarzergnoto.bsky.social z MBÚ @akademievedcr.bsky.social @gnotobiology.bsky.social ➡️ forbes.cz/mikrobiom-ri...

Mikrobiom řídí vše. Co udělat, aby lépe fungoval? Strčte ruce do hlíny, říká vědec

Říká se mu druhý mozek. Mikrobiom ovlivňuje v našem těle všechno. Co mu prospívá a jak souvisí i s dlouhověkostí, vysvětluje v rozhovoru laureát Ceny Neuron Martin Schwarzer.

Revised refereed preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Revision work lead by @longweibai.bsky.social Our work reveals how the #microbiota helps buffer #malnutrition: L. plantarum sustains intestinal activity of the steroid hormone ecdysone, expanding the midgut and supporting systemic growth.

🐭 #Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Hi188 promotes post-weaning growth in mice. 🧪 The #metabolite 5-HIAA activates hepatic #AhR, boosting IGF-1 production. 🧑‍💻 Metagenomic and host transcriptome data reveal that 5-HIAA is co-produced by the host–microbiota axis. 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/imo2... #microbiome

Great symposium! Looking forward to what comes NEXT! 😃
