Microbiota, diet, and the gut–brain axis in multiple sclerosis and stroke
Brain Development
L. Diaz-Marugan et al. 2023
Intestinalmicrobiota can influence the phenotype and function of immune cell responses through the dissemination of bacterial antigens or metabolites. Diet is one of the major forces shaping the microbiota composition and metabolism, contributing to host homeostasis and disease susceptibility.

Microbiota-diet-host interplay during pregnancy: relevance for the maternal-neonatal health MIDIHOP
Mother & Child Health & Nutrition
Collado M. C., CSIC, National Research Council, Spain, 2022

Elucidating mother-infant and bacterial factors related to the early acquisition and intestinal colonization of infants by E. coli and AIEC
Biotics & Microbiome Health
Simpson K., Cornell University, USA, 2022
Mechanistically, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), principally Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are considered a consequence of dysregulated interplay between host genetic-susceptibility and immunity, the enteric microenvironment, and environmental “triggers”, but the specific interactions that lead to IBD are unresolved.
