The Future of Fecal Transplants
54:42 - 1:03:00 (08:18)
This transcript discusses the hypothesis that autoimmune disorders could be caused by a lack of microbes at a specific point in human development and the idea of banking stool samples at a young age for future fecal transplants, though synthetic poop is still unlikely.

The hygiene hypothesis that links autoimmune disorders to current lack of microbes may actually be a result of lack of microbes at a specific point in human development, according to epidemiological and microbiome data.

Summary
The hygiene hypothesis that links autoimmune disorders to current lack of microbes may actually be a result of lack of microbes at a specific point in human development, according to epidemiological and microbiome data. It's important to study microbial development on a timeline, considering factors such as c-sections, formula feeding, and excessive cleanliness in childhood that can affect colonization pathways and lead to long-term problems.

Summary
Stool banks, like the one started by MIT researchers, are working to preserve fecal samples for future fecal transplants. Storing samples throughout a person's life that can later be used to create an artificial community of microbes for transplantation may be a beneficial idea.
