Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are beneficial molecules created by the bacteria residing in our gut that are closely tied to improved host metabolism, lower systemic inflammation, better ...

After so many years of learning how microbes work, researchers are now digitally recreating their inner workings to tackle challenges ranging from climate change to space colonization. In my work as a ...

Researchers have created digital babies to better understand infants' health in their critical first 180 days of life. The team created 360 advanced computer models that simulate the unique metabolic ...

Hundreds of different bacterial species live in the human gut, helping us to digest our food. The metabolic processes of these bacteria are not only tremendously important to our health -- they are ...

A new open-source model of brain metabolism, developed by scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful ...

The alteration of metabolic pathways is a common mechanism underlying the evolution of new phenotypes. Flower color is a striking example of the importance of metabolic evolution in a complex ...

Brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a cornerstone of industrial biotechnology. Its exceptional adaptability to diverse natural and industrial environments has led to the emergence of a wide ...

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems or redesign existing ones. It ...
