Repeated head impacts, even if minor, can have biological effects.
Guy Boeckxstaens of KU Leuven explains how mast cells may alter pain signalling through IgE dependent responses to food antigens and activation of the MRGPRX2 receptor.
The results may inform programs to preserve microbial diversity while delivering essential care.
Targeting deoxycholic acid (DCA)-producing gut bacteria could be a way to slow breast cancer progression.
Nathalie Vergnolle (Inserm, France) discussed the potential role of proteases in altering the intestinal mucus layer in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Microbiota-derived molecules such as IPA may offer a way to strengthen early-life immunity against respiratory viruses.
Monitoring the gut microbiota could in the future help understand, diagnose, or manage Sjögren syndrome.
William Fusco, gastroenterologist at Gemelli University Hospital in Rome, discusses the role of peppermint oil in the management of disorders of gut–brain interaction.
Microbial communities may be engineered at the protein-expression level because bacteria adjust their protein production in response to specific neighbors.
