Gut Microbiome Key Driver in Aging Process

In a study published in Antioxidants last year, scientists performed FMT (fecal microbiota transplantation – transferring stool from a healthy donor into the digestive tract of another in order to establish better microbial health) by taking stool samples from older mice and transferring them into younger mice.
