Gut Neurons Decoded: New Study Reveals How Food Allergies and Microbes Rewire Gut Neuronal Responses
The Food Allergy Science Initiative, Inc. (FASI)—In a groundbreaking study [1] published in Science, researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and collaborators unveiled the first high-resolution atlas of how enteric neurons adapt to environmental changes—such as microbiome manipulation and allergic inflammation, including food allergy and parasite infection. This work redefines neurogastroenterology and the allergic response, paving the way for gut-targeted therapies aimed at specific neuronal populations and neuronal circuits.
