The microbiome shapes the development of insulin-producing cells in infancy, leading to long-term changes in metabolism and ...

The results could ultimately help doctors reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes—or potentially even restore lost metabolic function in adulthood—by providing gut microbes that help the pancreas grow and ...

Because hot springs exist on every continent, it would make sense that there would be a large variety of microbes. Types of hot springs can vary quite a bit from each other. These systems can ...

Early-life gut microbes could play a key role in protecting against diabetes. A healthy start for a healthier future.

The microbiome shapes development of insulin-producing cells in infancy, leading to long-term changes in metabolism and diabetes risk, new research in mice has found.

When male mice that were genetically predisposed to develop type 1 diabetes were colonized by a metabolically "neutral" microbe in infancy, they developed the disease 90% of the time.
