Penn researchers identify molecular link between gut microbes and intestinal health




Humans maintain a symbiotic relationship with the trillions of beneficial microbes that colonize their bodies. Inflammatory bowel disease is one of the best-studied diseases associated with alterations in the composition of beneficial bacterial populations. Researchers have identified that the enzyme HDAC3 -- important in epigenetics -- is a key mediator in maintaining proper intestinal integrity and function in the presence of friendly bacteria.
