A recent study, led by Dr. Eric Martens from the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor (USA), has found that a fiber-deprived diet may lead to a degradation of the colonic mucus layer and enhance enteric pathogen infection in mice.

A recent study led by Dr. Alex Mira (FISABIO, Spain) and Dr. Maria C. Jenmalm (Linköping University, Sweden) and researchers at IATA-CSIC (Spain) has presented an analysis of a total of 192 faecal samples from 28 healthy children and 20 children developing allergic symptoms at age seven, from when the children were 1 and 12 months of age. It has found that children who develop asthma or allergies later in life have altered immune responses to intestinal bacteria in the gut mucosal environment at an early age.

A recent study, led by Prof. Magnus Simrén from the Department of Internal Medicine & Clinical Nutrition and University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centered Care at the University of Gothenburg in Gothenburg (Sweden), has identified a gut microbiota profile that is related to the severity of IBS symptoms.
Until now, three case-control studies have assessed gut microbiota in PD: a Finnish study, an American study, and a Japanese study.
