Most people think of the gut as a digestive organ. Something that processes food, absorbs nutrients, and occasionally causes trouble on a stressful morning. But over the past decade, researchers have ...

A bidirectional CNS–GI–skin communication network transmits signals via neuroendocrine pathways, immune mediators, and microbial metabolites, reframing acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis as ...

A new, body-wide tissue has been discovered that may provide a new pathway for the gut-brain axis. Surprisingly, it may help ...

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS), represent a growing global health burden ...

The gut-brain axis constitutes a complex bidirectional network linking the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system through neural pathways, circulating metabolites, immune mediators and ...

If you are craving protein, then your gut may be communicating to your gut. Here is what a new groundbreaking study has to ...

A new study reveals a dual-track gut-brain network using CNMa signaling to suppress sugar cravings and drive protein selection during nutrient deficiency.

Constipation was associated with approximately twofold higher odds of depression in a meta-analysis of 18 observational ...

When the body runs low on protein, the gut sends powerful signals to the brain that reshape cravings and push animals to seek ...
