The gut microbiota has emerged as a dynamic player, not only in gastrointestinal diseases, but also in its profound influence on distant organs, particularly the brain.
Gut bacteria are considered a potential regulatory mechanism for the transport of immune cells from the gut to the brain. There is a direct correlation with the severity of a stroke. However, the microbial cues modulating immune cells polarization and mobilization remain elusive.
In her presentation, Corinne Benakis (PhD) will discuss the latest findings on the molecular pathomechanisms of the gut-brain axis. The Junior group leader of the Microbiome–gut–brain axis Lab will focus on metabolites produced
