Gut Feelings

Více o knize

"Our understanding of how to treat and prevent diseases has been transformed by knowledge of the microbiome. In Gut Feelings, Alessio Fasano and Susie Flaherty show why we must go beyond the older, myopic view of microorganisms as our enemies to a broader understanding of the microbiome as a parallel civilization that we need to understand, respect, and engage with for the benefit of our own health. Exploring the microbiome's part in gut inflammatory disorders, obesity, neurological conditions, cancer, and immune function, Fasano and Flaherty show that we can enlarge--and perhaps reinvent--our understanding of how to combat disease and maintain health."--Back cover
