Is Parkinson´s Disease a gastrointestinal disorder, with microbiota contribution?
27 Dec 2014by Paul Enck
The pathomechanism of Parkinson´s disease (PD) is well known but its origin is far from completely understood. The fact that among the prodromal signs of PD are constipation and a number of other (autonomically regulated) symptoms that occur years before
I participated in the "Targeting microbiota" congress at Pasteur Institute because I considered the topics discussed very interesting and relevant to my research. For me microbiome conferences are still a rather foreign territory, but I very much like to talk
