Was a little interesting. The artificial mouth plaque transplantation mimicking the artificial gut and fecal transplants.

'Plaque Bank' launches a new model for noninvasive disease prediction, treatment:

This whole field of bacterial transplants is sure gaining interest.

For some reason, i'm okay w/ fecal transplants more than I'm okay with the idea of putting someone elses plaque in my mouth. Blegh.

Still very cool to see the strong interest in how bacteria affects our health.

Also, off topic, but would you be willing to chat via email Mark? There's something about IBD I wanted to pick your brain about.
