Indian-origin scientist finds dead probiotic that can fix leaky gut
"We know that probiotics are instrumental in maintaining a healthy gut and preventing leakage, but there isn`t much data available to pinpoint which ones work and which ones don`t," said Hariom Yadav, assistant professor of molecular biology at Wake Forest School of Medicine and principal investigator of the study published in the journal GeroScience.
Yadav`s team first screened eight strains of human-origin probiotics in roundworms, a commonly used model with a short lifespan of 11 to 20 days, Photo: Pixabay
