Microbiomes more in flux in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
“Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are more likely to see dramatic shifts in the make-up of the community of microbes in their gut than healthy people, according to the results […]
Decreased bacterial diversity in patients with psoriatic arthritis
“Patients with PsA had a lower relative abundance of multiple intestinal bacteria. PsA samples had a lower abundance of reportedly beneficial taxa. This gut microbiota profile in PsA was similar […]
‘Good’ bacteria is potential solution to unchecked inflammation seen in bowel diseases
“…researchers found that adding back a type of beneficial bacteria that normally grows in the gut can help end this cycle, suggesting a new treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.”
Ultrasound waves propel delivery of RNA to treat colon inflammation
“MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital researchers have demonstrated that they can deliver strands of RNA efficiently to colon cells, using bursts of ultrasound waves that propel the RNA into […]
Vagus Nerve Discovery May Lead to Treating Painful Autoimmune Diseases
“Our new finding clearly shows that the vagus nerve carries immune-related signals, which makes it a good target for bioelectronic treatment for autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease […]
STUDY: Diet induced clinical improvement in IBD
Study Conclusion: “SCD therapy in IBD is associated with clinical and laboratory improvements as well as concomitant changes in the fecal microbiome.” [1] “Suskind suspects that IBD is caused when […]
Gut bacteria may hold key to treating autoimmune disease
“The researchers discovered that by feeding the mice with Lactobacillus reuteri, they could “reset” the gut bacterial community and reduce the levels of inflammation, significantly extending the animals’ survival.”
New study links protein in wheat to the inflammation of chronic health conditions
“The study shows that the consumption of ATIs can lead to the development of inflammation in tissues beyond the gut, including the lymph nodes, kidneys, spleen and brain. Evidence suggests […]
Omega-3 fatty acid stops known trigger of lupus
“What we discovered was when lupus was triggered by crystalline silica, a toxic mineral also known as quartz that’s linked to human autoimmunity, DHA blocked the activation of the disease,” […]
