insights INSIGHT
Brain Microbiome
The brain, previously thought sterile, contains bacteria, as revealed by the Human Microbiome Project.
The project's ability to identify bacterial DNA/RNA led to discoveries in blood and brain.
insights INSIGHT
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), waste products from bacteria, can negatively affect the brain.
LPS, or 'little pieces of [****]', can cross the gut barrier and trigger immune reactions.
insights INSIGHT
The Holobiome
The holobiome represents the collective microbial communities within the human body.
It emphasizes the interconnectedness of these communities and their combined influence.
