How Your Gut Affects Your Mood

At any given moment, you have somewhere between 10 trillion and 100 trillion microorganisms inhabiting your gut — that’s more microbes in your bowels than there are cells in your body. If that isn’t impressive enough, consider that collectively these microbes have about 150 times as many genes as your own genome. Scientists are still trying to figure out exactly which microbes make up the human microbiome, but it’s estimated to contain more than 1,000 species and 7,000 distinct strains of bacteria. Your gut is never alone.

It’s also not working in isolation. What’s becoming more and more clear is that the microbes in the gut are crucial for the brain and…

 Studies that intentionally infect people with disease-causing bugs are on the rise

Intentionally infecting a human—let alone a child—with a disfiguring and even deadly disease would never pass ethical muster today. But as recently as the early 20th century, intentional infection was seen as cutting-edge...

Research Shows Being Married for Decades Might Alter Your Physiology

Being married for decades doesn't just mean you share family, a home, and years of memories and inside jokes—according to new research, you share a bunch of physiological similarities too.

Researchers use 3-D printing to build human physiology outside the body

The cardiovascular system is a complex web of tens of thousands of miles of arteries, capillaries and veins, branching throughout the body like tributaries of a great river. And now, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are recapitulating this intricate network using an emerging technology: 3D bioprinting.
