The Powerful Impact Gut Microbes Have on Overall Health and in Multiple Sclerosis
Results of the study
Because of Dr. Nathalie Juge and the Quadram Institute, certain molecules have been identified that are able to enforce healthy levels of bacteria in the correct areas of the gut microbiota. This is impactful because if issues arise where more bacteria is necessary to maintain health, the molecules can be addressed directly.
Dr. Nathalie Juge comments on her findings: "We think that the carbohydrate binding modules play a key role in determining the spatial distribution of symbiotic bacteria across and along the gastrointestinal tract, which helps to maintain a beneficial relationship with bacteria inhabiting different niches in the gut."
