- Lachnospiraceae is a group of tiny organisms (microbes) that can both help and harm our gut health, and they were found a lot in mice with genetic changes.* -
- Scientists looked at how five different strains of these microbes could help reduce inflammation and harmful substances in colon cells.* -
- They found that a substance made by these microbes helped reduce stress in the cells and improved the mice's health by lowering cell damage and inflammation.*
Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with an increase in Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus species; however, the specific mechanisms are unclear. Previous research has reported the associations between microbiota and inflammation, here we investigate potential pathways that specific bacteria populations use to drive gut inflammation.
