Title: Good bacteria helps to defend your brain Written by: duddy on Nov 20, 2014 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_20_11_14_1_04_24.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=19435) The microbes that live in your body outnumber your cells 10 to one.

Now, researchers have discovered yet another way microbes keep us healthy: They are needed for closing the blood-brain barrier, a molecular fence that shuts out pathogens and molecules that could harm the brain.
