How Does the Microbiome Affect Gut Histology?

The gut microbiome has a significant impact on the histology of the gastrointestinal tract. A healthy microbiome supports the integrity of the intestinal epithelium, promotes the production of mucus, and regulates immune responses. Disruption of the microbiome can lead to histological changes such as increased intestinal permeability, inflammation, and damage to the epithelial cells. Restoring a healthy microbiome through FMT can potentially reverse these changes and restore normal histology.
