Oral bacteria linked to cognition in UK and Belgian adults

Across 60 healthy younger and older adults in the UK and Belgium, researchers found shared bacterial associations with cognitive performance despite geographic microbiome…Across 60 healthy younger and older adults in the UK and Belgium, researchers found shared bacterial associations with cognitive performance despite geographic microbiome differences.

Oral bacterium shifts aged mouse profiles toward younger states

Supplementing aged mice with heat-killed Neisseria flavescens restored their serum metabolome, liver transcriptome and gut microbiome toward younger states.Supplementing aged mice with heat-killed Neisseria flavescens restored their serum metabolome, liver transcriptome and gut microbiome toward younger states.
