Therapeutic faecal microbiota transplantation controls intestinal inflammation through IL10 secretion by immune cells
Abstract
Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is becoming a therapeutic option in several gastrointestinal disorders. Here, Burrello et al. study the immunological mechanisms by which FMT reduces colonic inflammation and initiates the restoration of intestinal homeostasis in a mouse model of colitis.
