Article Synopsis
  • Intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in various diseases, and understanding diet's impact on it is essential for developing targeted therapies.
  • A study analyzing meals and stool samples from 173 hospitalized patients found that higher caloric intake is linked to greater fecal microbiota diversity.
  • The research indicates that consuming sweets or sugars while on antibiotics may disrupt the microbiome, suggesting that reducing sugar intake during such treatment could help protect gut health.

The long history of studying the propagation of an action potential has revealed that an electrical signal is accompanied by mechanical and thermal effects. All these effects together generate an ensemble of waves. The consistent models of such a complex phenomenon can be derived by using properly the fundamental physical principles.

The in silico simulations are widely used in contemporary systems biology including the analysis of nerve pulse propagation. As known from numerous experiments, the propagation of an action potential is accompanied by mechanical and thermal effects. This calls for an analysis at the interface of physics, physiology and mathematics.
