Scientists understand better how the gut contributes to the genesis of Parkinson's disease
Findings in an experimental model show gut macrophages gobble up misfolded alpha-synuclein, a toxic protein that signals T cells, which in turn travel to the brain

Intestinal macrophages modulate synucleinopathy along the gut–brain axis - Nature
Muscularis macrophages, housekeepers of enteric nervous system integrity and intestinal homeostasis, modulate α-synuclein pathology and neurodegeneration in models of Parkinson’s disease, and understanding the accompanying mechanisms could pave the way for early-stage biomarkers.

The impact of an oral purified microbiome therapeutic on the gastrointestinal microbiome - Nature Medicine
An exploratory analysis of the phase 3 ECOSPOR III trial shows that a higher dosage of the oral microbiome therapeutic VOWST led to enhanced pharmacokinetics, increased species engraftment and altered microbiome and metabolite profiles, providing mechanistic insights into how it may prevent Clostrid...

Patients’ expectations and beliefs in IBS: Why gluten and wheat might not be the culprit
Many patients with IBS find that wheat or gluten triggers gastrointestinal symptoms, prompting them to exclude these foods from their diets. A new study highlights how patients’ expectations and beliefs shape symptom modulation and dietary choices in IBS.
