Article Synopsis
- - Axial spondyloarthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis, is a chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting the spine but can also involve peripheral joints, and it is one of several disorders classified as spondyloarthropathies.
- - The condition is linked to specific genetic markers, particularly the HLA-B27 gene, and involves various inflammatory factors like tumor necrosis factor (TNF), along with the influence of non-HLA genes.
- - Recent studies suggest that gut microbiota and dysbiosis may contribute to the development of axial spondyloarthritis, highlighting the potential for future research into gut health in the context of this disease.
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune gastrointestinal disease triggered by dietary gluten, occurring in genetically predisposed individuals. Currently, a gluten-free diet is the only current evidenced-based treatment for CD. With the growing prevalence of this condition worldwide, adjuvant therapies are needed.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, characterized by symptoms of bradykinesia, rigidity, postural instability, and tremor. Recently, there has been a growing focus on the relationship between the gut and the development of PD. Emerging to the forefront, an interesting concept has developed suggesting that the initial pathophysiological changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract before changes are seen within the brain.
