Our gastrointestinal tract is lined with trillions of bacteria, referred to as our gut microbiome. The microbiome plays an important role in our overall health from aiding digestion to benefiting our immune system. But did you know the mini creatures that line our gut also hold huge importance to our heart health?

Recent research has suggested that the gut microbiome contributes to the development of many cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension (high blood pressure), atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and heart failure.

Gut bacteria secrete metabolites upon the degradation of ingested nutrients, as a means of generating a carbon fuel source. Such nutrients include choline, carnitine and phosphatidylcholine derived from foods such as eggs, red meat and fish

I am a pretty avid fan of sci-fi, and so I love me some fun alien design. And in recent years, we have had some much more interesting and nuanced takes on what communication between vastly different organisms might look like than the classic Star Trek universal-translator hand-wavey nonsense. But I so rarely see good examples of chemoreception in sci-fi--hell, we don't even classify chemosensing as one of the basic senses, and it is how the vast majority of life on earth communicates! And it's incredible! Take G. fasicularis, a symbiotic organisms whose main constituents are an ascomycete fungi and a cyanobacteria. These organisms are so vastly different from one another that they are in different Domains of life! We are more closely related to ascomycete fungi that it is to cyanobacteria, but somehow, using chemical compounds as their means of communication, they are able to find each other and thrive together in a lichen thallus. And we are just barely beginning to understand how this process works all around us on our own planet. Isn't that nuts? And to be fair, in Star Trek: Discovery 4x12, they finally did have a chemoreceptive alien species attempting to communicate with humans which was pretty great, so I can't say Star Trek falls back on hand-wavey bullshit all the time.
