Bacteria use our gut as their habitat and make molecules which serve as "signals" to our brain. Over the last years, it has been shown several times how important these molecules are as they can provoke/protect against certain diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease or Multiple Sclerosis (I made a video about this a while ago). We can still learn a lot about other species!

Hi there. I wonder if you're open for collaboration. Which could be cathartic. I'm a graduate in microbiology and offer holder from imperial college London. I've been fascinated by microbiology and animation for years. There are so many intriguing stories in teeny verse I wish I could show em to the world. We can talk if you're interested. If not that is ok too. Thanks for reading this long ^~^ Have a great day. :)
