Cleveland Clinic researchers discovered a new bacterium, Tomasiella immunophila, that breaks down SIgA and may contribute to inflammatory bowel diseases.
Cleveland Clinic researchers have identified a new bacterium, Tomasiella immunophila, which undermines gut immunity and may contribute to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's, and ulcerative colitis.
This bacterium breaks down secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), a vital component of the gut's immune defense.
The discovery paves the way for potential new therapies aimed at restoring SIgA levels and improving gut health.
