Recent studies have widened the immune system and the gut microbiota’s role to the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease. Scientists suggest that intestinal infections could act as a trigger in Parkinson’s disease, through affecting mitochondrial antigen presentation and cytotoxic T cells establishment in mice.
A recent study, led by Dr. Andrew S. Neish from the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, found that Akkermansia muciniphila and other anaerobic bacteria may promote gut healing in mice.
According to a new study published in Science Advances, being in contact with others may be linked to a healthy, rich and diverse microbiota, at least in chimpanzees, thus providing a healthier and longer existence.
