The trillions of microorganisms living in the human intestine may reveal the early biological conditions that precede diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Italian researchers argue that changes in this complex ecosystem can emerge years – and potentially decades – before chronic illnesses become clinically visible, opening new possibilities for earlier prevention.
Scientists from Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome have examined the connection between the intestinal microbiota and metainflammation.
