Episode Synopsis

Plants are a great source of fiber and micronutrients, which makes them an important component of a heathy diet. However, it was recently shown that there is another aspect of plants that allows them to contribute to well-being –- exosomes. In this episode, Kellen reviews a paper published in 2018 in Cell Host & Microbe by Yun Teng and colleagues titled “Plant-Derived Exosomal MicroRNAs Shape the Gut Microbiota”.
