Fermented vegetables are increasingly associated with health benefits. However, the
importance of microbial transformations to foods during the fermentation process remains
to be determined. We found that the metabolites in spontaneously fermented cabbage…

Scientists discover gut cells that communicate like brain neurons 🧠🦠: Support cells known as telocytes use fine extensions—like neurons in the brain—to deliver signals directly to intestinal stem cells, making this one of the clearest cellular analogues between brain and gut function seen to date.

Gut cells drive self-renewal by communicating like brain cells
Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The discovery may change our understanding of tissue repair…
