The gut lining plays a critical role in how we absorb nutrients, interact with microbes and defend against potential threats - so when this barrier becomes [...]
There’s growing concern among microbiome researchers that some of our most beneficial microbes are quietly disappearing - lost to modern lifestyles, medications and dietary shifts. This emerging concept, sometimes called the microbial extinction hypothesis, suggests we may be witnessing a long-term erosion of microbial diversity with far-reaching consequences for human health. From coexistence to collapse [...]
