Kimchi acts as a 'precision regulator' for the immune system, 12-week clinical trial suggests
Kimchi acts as a 'precision regulator' for the immune system, 12-week clinical trial suggests
Amid concerns about the simultaneous spread of multiple respiratory diseases, such as colds and influenza, with the change of seasons in current times, a clinical study has scientifically proven that kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, enhances the function of human immune cells and maintains the balance of the immune system.

Gut microbiota regulates stress responsivity via the circadian system: Cell Metabolism
Gut microbiota regulates stress responsivity via the circadian system: Cell Metabolism
Gut microbes are known to modulate stress responsivity and behavior. Tofani et al. demonstrate that such modulations occur via the circadian system. The oscillations in gut microbiota composition regulate the diurnal rhythmicity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis function, which leads to altered stress responsivity across the day.
