Baby Poop May Be a Source of Beneficial Probiotics

Neuroscience NewsAugust 23, 2018

Researchers have developed a probiotic 'cocktail' from gut bacteria found in infant feces. They say the 'cocktail' could help to increase the body's ability to produce short chain fatty acids. The probiotic could be used to help those suffering from cancers, autoimmune disorders, obesity, diabetes and other disorders which limit the ability of the body to produce SCFAs naturally. ...

Study Challenges Conventional Belief About Origins of Multiple Sclerosis

Neuroscience NewsMay 8, 2018

A new study challenges conventional thought on the origins of multiple sclerosis. Researchers say biochemical injury to myelin appears to trigger an immune response that leads to additional damage as a result of inflammation. The new theory challenges the view that MS is primarily at autoimmune disease at origin.... Read More...

Gray Hair Linked to Immune System and Viral Infection

Neuroscience NewsMay 4, 2018

Researchers have identified a link between the immune system, viral infection and premature hair graying. The study reports mice who went prematurely gray produced unusually high amounts of MITF, a protein that is responsible for releasing interferons, which help to fight viral infections. This suggests genes responsible for controlling pigmentation also work to control the immune system.... Read More...

Men Hold Secret to Protect Women From Multiple Sclerosis

Neuroscience NewsJanuary 29, 2018

A new PNAS study reveals why men are less likely to develop multiple sclerosis than women. According to researchers, a 'guardian molecule' that is triggered by testosterone appears to have a protective effect in men. When female mice were treated with the molecule, their symptoms of the disease were eliminated.... Read More...
