Dear Colleague, You may or may not know that more than 10,000 different kinds of microbes live happily in our GI tract. And this is a very good thing. These 10,000 are not mere freeloaders looking to take advantage of a congenial environment. Rather, they help maintain an elaborate homeostasis that insures health. Think of them as excellent dinner companions. When this "microbiota" is disturbed, it now appears that many serious chronic diseases -- ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel, Crohn's -- may result. With this new understanding of GI disease, researchers are starting to identify effective therapies to help the bacteria cope with various insults. Please join eminent researchers John Y. Kao, M. D., Assistant Professor and Nirmal Kaur, M.D., Fellow, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology, and Vincent B. Young, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Infectious Diseases Division, and Department of Microbiology & Immunology, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan, as they take us on a tour of The Indigenous Gastrointestinal Microbiota in Health and Disease.
