Look at Mofro, all smart and shit. I'm confused about what this sentence means:
The mice were "germ-free and without a microbiota" so does that mean that this only works (or, perhaps, seems to work) if those are the only two bacteria present? Just wondering.Quote:
Antibiotic-treated mice could have seizure protection restored by feeding with A. muciniphila and Parabecteroides, but not with either bacteria alone or with other bacteria.
That's Doctor Mofro to us cretins.

More specifically, either bacterial species alone did not provide the effect, but the combo of these 2 specific bacteria did.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is on its way for a rendezvous with the Sun. A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket, carrying the spacecraft, lifted off at 3:31 a.m. EDT, from Space Launch Complex 37 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, its engines blazing golden in the clear night sky during ascent.

That is cool. Though, one thing we've learned from Kepler is that almost every star has as at least one planet if not several. So, it would be quite surprising for there not to be a planet there.

At least a decade before this could lead to any kind of actual human treatment, but still cool to see given the abject failure of most Alzheimer's research to date.
