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 who state that, “We will explore the potential for treatment of … Read more
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 past. Several years ago, they looked at people with schizophrenia and … Read more
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 thing. It does. So what has me so astounded? The article[ii], … Read more
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 repeating: Those with inflammatory bowel disease have higher levels of antibodies … Read more
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 bacterial microbiome and should have a macrobiome, and without a doubt, … Read more
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 in the bacterial microbiome between babies fed formula versus breast-fed, in … Read more
