Nick Gallina (Purdue University) Background: Intestinal barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and elevated expression of heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) are features of the dysbiotic gut. Probiotics can alleviate inflammation but are ineffective due to poor adhesion and adaptation to the inflamed bowel. We hypothesize that enhancing probiotic adhesion to intestinal cells may augment t ...
