RE: The miscommunication between T cells and microbiome makes the poor mice fat - Journal club

in #steemstem5 years ago

Amazing @scienceblocks!

This has been a topic that has sparked my interest for quite a while now. And I appreciate you pointing out here that psychological stressors can also be counted as factors that disturb the communities that reside within our bodies.

This is indeed a great, engaging way to lay out one of the things that happens in between the moment food is ingested, and burnt in the body. I have also been curious about the many processes involved in the alteration of the microbiome! And the understanding of T cells role in regulating the different types of gut bacteria is new to me :)

Those poor, little T-Myd88 mice. Riddled with inflammation, and on top of that teased by their cousins! No wonder why they became vindictive and pushed their counterpart to eat poo! :D

Your articles are becoming better and better @sicenceblocks. You manage to make them very enjoyable to read! Plus, the artwork is so cute and funny!

Oh, and before I go:

Funny enough that even when these mice would eat a lot more food than their germ containing counterparts they would not gain any weight
.

I want to live in a completely sterile environment :P

Psychological stressors are definitely showing up.to play a crucial role in our metabolism and even dictating our shape. Esp the childhood stressors. This topic certainly needs our attention, given how easily we disregard stress in life. I know these relatives who have autoimmune diseases running in the family, along with all the anxiety I see in their behaviour. They would blame things on everything except recognising the anxiety issue over trivial things. It's only recently that I showed them evidence of how stress can accelerate these diseases. And began to actively work on being calm and they now think that the disease flare ups are not as much. I know this isn't the evidence enough for us, but they are happy and doing well. So be it.

Lol, not that counterpart minded eating poo, but it know the vendetta of T-Myd88.
