Uncovering the Secrets of How Our Microbiome Bacteria Lays Foundations for Our Descendants
The microbiome, the collection of bacteria that live inside us, is responsible for many aspects of our health. Now, a new study from the University of California, San Diego, has shown that the microbiome can even shape the health of future generations. The study, published in the journal Cell, found that bacteria from a mother’s microbiome can be passed on to her offspring, and can influence the health of her descendants in the long term. This finding could have major implications for our understanding of how the microbiome affects our health and how we can use it to improve our health in the future.
