Harnessing gut microbes for mental health: Getting from here to there

In this study by Yadav et al. (2022), the authors investigated the mechanisms linking Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with gastrointestinal inflammation and derangements of the gut microbiome. Humanized transgenic (Tg) HLA-DR2a and human T cell receptor (TCR) specific for myelin basic protein peptide (MBP87-99)/HLA-DR2a were examined for signs of gastrointestinal inflammation (immune cell infiltration) during the […]

The proportion of the population that suffers from mental disorders (anxiety and depression, among others) has risen dramatically in the last few years. As a result, finding preventative and treatment methods for mental illnesses is crucial. Several gut microbiota strains, particularly Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes, have been shown to influence mental health via the microbiota gut-brain […]
