Previous research has found that multiple sclerosis (MS) patients may have a specific microbial signature in their gut microbiota that could impact disease pathogenesis. However, it is not known to what extent structural and functional changes in the gut microbiota are primary contributors to MS pathogenesis and which underlying mechanisms are involved. A new study, led by Dr. Sergio Baranzini…

Beyond its influence in the gastrointestinal milieu, the gut microbiota may influence the development of autoimmune diseases. A recent study, led by Dr. Ashutosh Mangalam, assistant professor of pathology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine in Iowa City (USA), has found that gut microbiota changes may contribute to the disease course of multiple sclerosis.   The researchers…
