P 119: Role of Gut Bacteria on Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common type of dementia.AD includes 60_80% of dementia and most people with AD have more than 65 years old.AD causes losing neuronal activity by abnormal proteins. Plaques of beta-amyloid and tangles of “tau” protein can lead to AD. Recently evidence has found that AD may come from outside of central nerv...

Healthy human gut phageome.

The role of bacteriophages in influencing the structure and function of the healthy human gut microbiome is unknown. With few exceptions, previous studies have found a high level of heterogeneity in bacteriophages from healthy individuals. To better estimate and identify the shared phageome of humans, we analyzed a deep DNA sequence dataset of active bacteriophages and available metagenomic dat...

Gut Bacteria and Breast Health

The incidence of breast cancer is increasing world-wide. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2009 there were 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 40,170 deaths from breast cancer in the United States.

Gut Bacteria and Melamine Toxicity

Melamine and its potential toxicity have drawn increased attention since a 2008 crisis in China in which milk, infant formula, and other foods were illegally laced with the chemical in order to increase their apparent protein content. That contamination affected an estimated 294,000 infants and children, with more than 50,000 hospitalizations and at least 6 deaths. In a new analysis of specific...
