Diet, Disease State, and the Space Environment Modify the Intestinal Microbiota and Mucosal Environment via Microbiota-directed Alterations in Colonocyte Signalling /

Microbial dysbiosis and toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling play a role in colonic injury and inflammation. Ulcerative colitis and radiation are known to alter microbiota, and diets containing polyphenols impact bacterial populations. We hypothesized that diet can mitigate dextran sodium sulfate (DSS...
