It is already known that bacterial composition of the gut of Centenarians is associated with a healthier lifespan, but a new study shows that the virome is also implicated in longer and better health.
The gut microbiota of centenarians is populated by higher levels of beneficial bacteria, and lower levels of potential inflammatory bacteria, says a new study from China.
Four probiotic strains isolated from Centenarians may exhibit anti-aging potential and protect against neuro-inflammation via the microbiota-gut-brain axis, suggests new data from a mouse study.
A probiotic strain isolated from centenarians has been shown to produce anti-oxidative and gut microbiome modulatory effects in young adults, based on a three-week pilot study conducted in China.
Unique bile acids produced by a distinct set of gut microbes may contribute to longevity by inhibiting the growth of gut pathogens, says a new study with 160 people over 100 years old in Japan.
The crucial role of microbiota metabolites, and the potential for new technology to create personalised solutions based on scientists understanding of them, has been highlighted by a leading academic from Japan.
