#DYK that the gut’s intricate network of neurons eclipses the brain and spinal cord in size?

By exploring the complex interactions between the gut, ENS, and immune system, our scientists are developing new technologies to uncover the pathways involved in food allergies.

The nervous and immune systems talk—and decide if food is friend or foe.

Getting this moment wrong triggers allergies.

Understanding it could help stop reactions before they start.
