Course Description

Overview

Explore the intricate connections between the microbiome, nervous system, and immune system in this illuminating webinar. Delve into Professor Daniel Mucida's groundbreaking research on the gut-brain axis, uncovering cellular and molecular mechanisms that influence digestive health. Gain insights into the origins of gastrointestinal disorders, including chronic inflammation, food allergies, and colon cancer. Discover potential new approaches for prevention and treatment as Dr. Mucida discusses topics such as intestinal epithelium, neuroimmunity, postinfectious IBS, macrophage protective programs, oral tolerance, fecal transplants, and the evolutionary aspects of immune responses. Understand the impact of the hygiene hypothesis and the role of taste receptors in the gut, while exploring the fascinating world of intraepithelial lymphocytes and bacterial products.
