Spondylitis and Microbiome Dysbiosis: Both Bacterial and Fungal
So many interesting things to write about…so little time! Last October, I wrote a post about spondyloarthropothies, which is a family of autoimmune diseases that affect the spine. These include Ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, arthritis related to inflammatory bowel disease, reactive arthritis, and juvenile…
Pathogenic Yeast and Autism: Is the Mycobiome a Factor?
Tuesday evening I printed out a bunch of new articles to read that looked potentially interesting. I’ve so far made it through 2, and one of those did not disappoint. A brief seque: I’ve probably mentioned this before, but because of my autism longevity…
Autism and the Microbiome: A Summary of What We Know Now
Two days ago, I spotted a short commentary[i] in the journal, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, from this past August, which really caught my attention. Here is why: it was written by 3 researchers in the department of neurology at Rutgers University’s medical school…
Schizophrenia and the Mycobiome: A Pilot Study
I don’t often find articles of interest about organisms of the human biome other than bacteria, but yesterday, I came across one looking at the mycobiome in schizophrenia that is definitely worth writing about. I’ve actually covered research by this research team in the…
The Transient Human Mycobiome
I read an abstract[i] a couple of weeks ago…and then reread it over and over again, thinking I must be misunderstanding it. I then put it away for a bit, and pulled it out again today to see if it still said the same…
More on the Mycobiome and IBD
I just finished reading a great blog post[i] (by a post-doc scientist at the NIH) on the current state of research into the mycobiome and its effects on inflammatory bowel disease. I learned several new things…and some things are just so important, they’re worth…
The Mycobiome, the Bacterial Microbiome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease
An interesting piece of research[i] was present last week at a conference in Chicago. Firstly, as I’ve talked about before on this blog, it’s important to remember that humans’ incredibly complex natural ecosystems have a mycobiome (native yeast population), just as we have a…
Interesting Bits and Pieces about the Mycobiome
I found a new article[i] yesterday on the mycobiome (yeast). To sum it up – we know next-to-nothing about what comprises a healthy one. 🙂 There were a few very interesting items in it that deserve mention: I already knew that there were differences…
