The human body may seem like a single, self-contained system, but it actually hosts trillions of microscopic organisms. These ...

The lactic acid bacterium found in the dish helps bind nanoplastics inside the intestine, allowing them to remain together ...

A lactic acid bacterium isolated from kimchi may help promote the removal of nanoplastics from the body by binding to them in ...

Researchers have found that bacteria isolated from kimchi can bind to plastic particles in the gut and carry them out of the body.

The human gastrointestinal tract is in a constant state of flux; it hosts a diverse and dynamic community of microbes known as the gut microbiome, and is constantly exposed to things in the ...

A bacterial strain pulled from traditional Korean kimchi demonstrated the ability to bind polystyrene nanoplastics and ...

Thanks to lab-grown miniature intestines, researchers at Uppsala University have successfully mapped how aggressive Shigella bacteria infect the human gut. The study opens the door to using cultured ...

To better understand our organs and perform tests on a more human-like proxy, researchers are increasingly turning to organoids: miniaturized tissue cultures, usually in the form of organs, that are ...

Kimchi-derived lactic acid bacteria may bind environmental micropollutants, suggesting a possible biological mechanism that ...
