Analysing the molecular and biochemical mechanisms disturbing the complex network of communication is key to our understanding of the pathophysiology of the functional GI disorders. Together with ESNM we have prepared an exciting webinar series under the topic: Microbiota and Gut-Brain Connection: A new Frontier in Neurogastroenterology. This free resource is a great opportunity to hear leading worldwide experts presenting the most recent findings on this topic.

Evidence over the past few years suggests that metabolites produced from microbes in the gut play a crucial role in maintaining gut health.
Advances in the understanding of how microbes promote food sensitivity
4 Apr 2019by Heather Galipeau
Genetic predisposition alone cannot fully explain the current rise of food sensitivities, like celiac disease. Scientists have characterized the bacterial enzyme elastase involved in driving immune activation and worsening reactions to gluten in genetically susceptible hosts.
The most significant achievements in gut microbiome science in 2018

Virus may lead to celiac disease through disruption of intestinal immune homeostasis
10 Apr 2017by Heather Galipeau
A new study published in Science by Bouziat and colleagues show that reovirus, which are mild or clinically silent viruses that infect humans frequently over the course of a lifetime, can break tolerance to dietary proteins and may constitute an environmental modifier for CeD development.
