Meta-analysis of the Parkinson’s disease gut microbiome suggests alterations linked to intestinal inflammation
Abstract The gut microbiota is emerging as an important modulator of neurodegenerative diseases, and accumulating evidence has linked gut microbes to Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptomatology and pathophysiology. PD is often preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms and alterations of the enteric nervous...
