NewsCircadian disruption and gut microbiome changes linked to colorectal cancer progression
Research has revealed how disruption of the circadian clock, the body’s internal, 24-hour biological pacemaker, may accelerate the progression of colorectal cancer by affecting the gut microbiome and intestinal barrier function.
-
NewsResearch reveals surprising impact of gut microbiome on hormone levels in mice
Researchers have shown that the balance of bacteria in the gut can influence symptoms of hypopituitarism in mice, and that aspirin was able to improve hormone deficiency symptoms in mice with this condition.
