In a groundbreaking study, a research team led by Changhu Xue and Xiangzhao Mao from the Ocean University of China has developed an extraordinary double-layer polysaccharide hydrogel (DPH) poised to revolutionize intestinal-targeted oral delivery of probiotics. Published in Engineering, their findings highlight the enormous potential of DPH in enhancing the bioavailability, intestinal colonization, and overall […]
Experimental Probiotic Uses Microbes to Treat Multiple Sclerosis in Mice
Our immune system is made up of multiple smart defenses built into our bodies – but if those defenses go haywire, it can lead to diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Scientists may have found a new way to control potentially dangerous autoimmune responses. A team from Harvard Medical School at Brigham and Women’s Hospital […]
Can probiotics solve GERD?
GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a chronic condition that occurs when stomach acid or bile flows back up into the esophagus.
