Recent research has involved genetics, altered mucosal immune responses, environmental factors and the gut microbiome as major players in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Given that some patients do not respond to conventional treatments, scientists are currently exploring new gut microbiome-targeted therapeutic approaches to improve disease course. A new study, led by Dr. Ramnik Joseph Xavier from the…
