Inherited or transmitted gut microbes affect skeletal development in animals Gut microbes passed from female mice to their offspring, or shared between mice that live together, may influence the animals bone mass, says a new study published today in eLife. The findings suggest that treatments which alter the gut microbiome could help improve bone structure or treat conditions that weaken bones, such as osteoporosis. Genetics account for most of the variability in human bone density, but non-genetic factors such as gut microbes may also play a role. We wanted to investigate the influence of the microbiome on skeletal growth and bone mass development. ....
E-Mail Gut microbes passed from female mice to their offspring, or shared between mice that live together, may influence the animals bone mass, says a new study published today in eLife. The findings suggest that treatments which alter the gut microbiome could help improve bone structure or treat conditions that weaken bones, such as osteoporosis. Genetics account for most of the variability in human bone density, but non-genetic factors such as gut microbes may also play a role, says lead author Abdul Malik Tyagi, Assistant Staff Scientist at the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Lipids at Emory Microbiome Research Center, Emory University, Georgia, US. We wanted to investigate the influence of the microbiome on skeletal growth and bone mass development. ....
