The Powerful Impact Gut Microbes Have on Overall Health and in Multiple Sclerosis
Final thoughts
What does it mean to have these types of bacterial groups present? Well, when naïve immune cells are presented with the first two, they transform into a certain T helper cell that has shown to spark inflammation and assist the immune system in destroying infected cells or "invaders." Acinetobacter also decreases the production of regulatory T cells, which fight against autoimmune diseases. Clearly, these groups of bacteria in the gut are causing significant harm to the immune system, and, while further evidence is necessary, beginning to look for treatments based on this information may be the correct route. Therapeutic applications may prove to be life-altering in the near future if more conclusive evidence can be shown that the interactions of the gut microbiota are involved in the development of multiple clerosis.
Eye disease and rheumatoid arthritis are also issues known to arise from gut microbiota, and those who suffer from these, or any array of disorders caused, are hoping that Juge's research will be capable of being implemented to devise new treatments.
