Gut Feeling: Cells In Intestine Can Reduce Brain Inflammation In MS Patients
- 5 years ago
New researchers say people with multiple sclerosis may have a treatment in their very own guts.
According to UPI, the human intestine may contain key immune cells that decrease brain inflammation in people with multiple sclerosis.
Canadian and American scientists found that microbes known as plasma cells live in the gut.
They create Immunoglobulin A, or IgA: antibodies that travel to the brain to suppress inflammation caused by MS.
While experimenting with lab mice and human samples, researchers observed IgA completely block MS inflammation.
