Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

Some sounds are spooky.

Some are unpleasant.

And some are entirely unsettling.

But some sounds, some sounds, are like nothing you've ever heard before, and nothing you'd ever want to hear again.

That was the sound of two hydroxybenzaldehyde.

And if you're thinking molecules don't make noise, well, you're right. But that discord in nightmare was an audible soundscape that represents the chemical properties of two hydroxybenzaldehyde.

What's even more eerie is that while that sound may have made you want to crawl out of your

skin and skitter towards the door, the chemical itself has a

similar effect on ants. That's according to a study in the journal, Patterns. The world of insects

is full of chemical compounds. Jean-Luc Bouvet of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

in Brussels. Thomas Eisner, who set up the field of chemical ecology, he said that the insects

are the best chemists on Earth.

And he said this as a kind of joke, but he was totally true in saying this because insects

are producing a huge amount of different chemicals for different purposes.
