This project explores the role of gut microbiota in human health, particularly focusing on how these microbes interact with mucins in the gastrointestinal tract. It aims to understand the mechanisms of mucin degradation and its implications for inflammatory bowel diseases.
The gastrointestinal tract is colonized by a community of microbes, the microbiota, which has a significant impact on human health and nutrition.
The mucus gel layer structure provides the barrier between the microbiota and the intestine preventing the occurrence of the inflammation process.
Indeed, an altered microbiota (towards mucus degrading bacteria) and defects in the mucus structure have been shown to be associated with inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis.Understanding…
