The microbes that live with us from cradle to grave

Inside your body there are trillions of microscopic organisms: bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea - collectively known as the microbiota. Over the past decade, we’ve learnt that these communities help to shape our physiology and contribute to our wellbeing. But there are still many questions: When do we acquire our first microbes? How does our microbiota change throughout our lives and how do these changes differ between people or contribute to disease?

As speculative studies goes on, let''s continue to sell "probiotics", isn't that so, Yakult?...

Dear Nature, we love you so much, please post videos more frequently. All the videos are amazing and so informative for everyone:)

I suspect that medical studies in this arena will offer huge advances in our general understanding of health and aging etc., since it's a relatively untapped subject. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!!

3:00 "studies show that the gut microbiota of older people differs from that of young adults, potentially contributing to ageing related changes to our immune system and brain function" what if as bacteria evolves, their progeny also react to the changing physiology of cells as we age and thus become less active which in turn allows new foreign bacteria to infiltrate and further weaken the bacterial community and our digestive and central nervous system (so called gut-brain axis). just a shot in the dark

Very addicting. Can't stop watching your animations

[naveenrajeee]

Interesting and informative video...
Thank you...🙏👍😊

[elbrenner]

Such a brilliant video, simple and beautifully illustrated !

[abdullaahmed]

I was here and in all nature videos 👊🏻

Does healthy skin microbiome pneumonia and Tb May kill disease causing bacteria

[hassank]

If you get symbiote as a microbe than you can potentially become the Venom or Carnage. Compatibility is key. Be careful!

How to make a video like this ... Animations are so beautiful ❤️

Still trying to figure out why she said bacteria lives in our skin, mouth and vagina💀💀💀 like she could of said any other bodypart why come with vagina lmfao

[Suitswonderland]

The moving from metabolites created from gut microbes too the bodies metabolism was done in a way which I think it gonna confuse everyone who does not already have a in-depth understanding of the subject. (A small what a metabolite actually is so people have a clear image of what is going on) I really feel like without this info we are teaching everyone wrong (But I am dyslexic so perhaps its just my ability too understand English, though listening and visual is something I do better than what I am doing now)

[sandeepsahu]

Can the skin's health microbiome be increased?

[fauxpaux]

1:59, such conditions are MORE likely genetic than due to microbes.

[panamanianviking]

Golden the way she said “and in the vagina”

[SG-jvzi]

Put the antibacterial hand gel down...I

[lulucarson]

you had to show this? why did you have to say the v*gina tho I'm eating

[monicaani]

Thank God I meet you quickly doctor #dramblesso for helping me curing my cold sore

[jonathanturek]

Couldn't you say" from people all over the world" instead of
" non whites " ? I'm American of polish Irish German decent and also a surfer. My skin is golden tan.
