Targeting zonulin and intestinal epithelial barrier function to prevent onset of arthritis
Intestinal dysbiosis is associated with an ever-growing list of autoimmune diseases. Here the authors show that both mice and humans with autoimmune arthritis can have dysbiosis and barrier leakiness prior to major signs of inflammatory arthritis, and treatment of mice with a zonulin antagonist can...

Summary: | Intestinal dysbiosis is associated with an ever-growing list of autoimmune diseases. Here the authors show that both mice and humans with autoimmune arthritis can have dysbiosis and barrier leakiness prior to major signs of inflammatory arthritis, and treatment of mice with a zonulin antagonist can limit collagen-induced arthritis. |
