Breakthrough in Alzheimer's research: Scientists transplanted gut bacteria from Alzheimer's patients into healthy rats → the rats developed memory issues + reduced new neuron growth in the hippocampus!
Key culprits? ↓ Coprococcus (good for healthy aging) and ↑ Desulfovibrio (linked to cognitive decline).
This proves a direct causal link via the gut-brain axis — huge potential for early diagnosis via stool tests & microbiome-based therapies!

A stunning scientific breakthrough is reshaping what we know about Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have managed to transfer symptoms of the illness to healthy rats — simply by transplanting gut bacteria. This discovery could revolutionize how ... Read more

The #ocean’s most abundant #microbe is near its breaking point
Tiny ocean microbes called #Prochlorococcus, once thought to be #climate survivors, may struggle as seas warm. These #cyanobacteria drive 5% of Earth’s #photosynthesis and underpin much of the marine #food web. A decade of research shows they thrive only within a narrow #temperature range, and warming oceans could slash their #populations by up to 50% in tropical waters.

UBC researchers have launched the world's first mushroom-powered waterless toilet, the MycoToilet, at the UBC Botanical Garden. The prototype turns human waste into nutrient-rich compost using mycelia—the root networks of mushrooms—and features a modern, sustainable design that can be dropped into parks, remote communities and areas without plumbing.
