Gut Reaction: Pyrosequencing Provides the Poop on Distal Gut Bacteria

The human distal gut hosts a bustling community comprising thousands of different kinds of bacteria. Fortunately, most of these intestinal residents don’t cause disease but instead play key roles in nutrition, metabolism, pathogen resistance, and immune response regulation. Unfortunately, these beneficial bacteria are just as susceptible to the antibiotics we take to treat pathogenic bacteria. ...

P 119: Role of Gut Bacteria on Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common type of dementia.AD includes 60_80% of dementia and most people with AD have more than 65 years old.AD causes losing neuronal activity by abnormal proteins. Plaques of beta-amyloid and tangles of “tau” protein can lead to AD. Recently evidence has found that AD may come from outside of central nerv...

Gut reaction

The image above shows immunofluorescence staining of a cross-section of small intestine from a mouse with a 'mosaic' pattern of expression of cell-surface MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class I molecules. The mosaic effect can be seen on the intestinal villi, which contain stretches of epithelial cells that express MHC class I (bright green) interrupted by equally long stretches of cell...
