Transplanted gut microbes from aged mice trigger inflammation in young germ-free mice

When scientists transplanted the gut microbes of aged mice into young "germ-free" mice - raised to have no gut microbes of their own - the recipient mice experienced an increase in inflammation that parallels inflammatory processes associated with aging in humans.
