Imbalance of gut bacteria may lead to Parkinson’s disease, studies show
Despite being a disease in the brain, new research suggests an unhealthy gut could lead to the development of Parkinson’s disease.
Despite being a disease in the brain, new research suggests an unhealthy gut could lead to the development of Parkinson’s disease.
Researchers found that glial cells coordinate immune responses of the gut following pathogen invasion or insult to the tissues.
Researchers say a better understanding of the enteric nervous system could lead to breakthrough treatments for gut conditions like irritable bowel syndrome.
While the data is still in its early stages, the findings could help with developing treatments that would better regulate the enteric nervous system .
