Antioxidants Keep the Potentially Probiotic but Highly Oxygen-Sensitive Human Gut Bacterium Faecalibacterium prausnitzii Alive at Ambient Air

Antioxidants Keep the Potentially Probiotic but Highly Oxygen-Sensitive Human Gut Bacterium Faecalibacterium prausnitzii Alive at Ambient Air | Mucosal Immunity | Scoop.it
by M. Tanweer Khan, Jan Maarten van Dijl, Hermie J. M. Harmsen
The beneficial human gut microbe Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is a ‘probiotic of the future’ since it produces high amounts of butyrate and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Access : Intestinal-mucosa anti-transglutaminase antibody assays to test for genetic gluten intolerance : Cellular & Molecular Immunology

Cellular and Molecular Immunology aims to report the dynamic progress being made in China and abroad in immunological research, and welcomes high-quality Research Articles, Reviews and Brief Reports across a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, clinical immunology, comparative immunology, immunobiology, immunogenetics, immunological techniques, immunopathology, immunopharmacology, infection immunology, neuroimmunology, transplantation immunology, tumor immunology, and veterinary immunology.
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

This prospective study investigates the presence of intestinal anti-tTG antibodies in patients with differing clinical spectrums of genetic gluten intolerance by using two immunoassays: double immunofluorescence test for anti-tTG on the intestinal mucosa and flow cytometry assay to measure acid-eluted intestinal anti-tTG.

uBiome: big data from bacteria

uBiome: big data from bacteria | Mucosal Immunity | Scoop.it

Founded by UCSF scientists and Stanford and Cambridge technologists, our mission is using big data to understand the human microbiome. We’re all covered in trillions of bacteria. We help consumers and organizations understand what they are and what they do. We're using tools like machine learning, bioinformatics, crowdsourcing, Illumina Hi-Seq, and robots.

 

uBiome addresses a massive need: dozens of conditions are correlated with the human microbiome (asthma, diabetes, irritable bowel, heart disease, etc.). We are the first and only big data company focused on the microbiome.

 

Our product accomplishes two goals: 1) allowing consumers access to their microbiome to learn about their bodies, perform experiments, and see how current studies apply to them 2) allowing organizations to learn about the microbiome at scale.

Surface area of the digestive tract much smaller than previously thought

Surface area of the digestive tract much smaller than previously thought | Mucosal Immunity | Scoop.it
The internal surface area of the gastro-intestinal tract has long been considered to be between 180 and 300 square meters. Scientists have used refined microscopic techniques that indicate a much smaller area.
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Scientists Lars Fändriks and Herbert Helander have used quantitative microscopic techniques to determine that the surface area of the gastro-intestinal tract in healthy adults is "only" between 30 and 40 square meters.

By far the greatest part of this is the small intestine. The area of the large intestine is approximately 2 square meters, while the mouth, esophagus and stomach amount to less than 1 square meter.
