The Connection Between Gut Bacteria and Rheumatoid Arthritis
1:26:50 - 1:31:36 (04:45)
Researchers have discovered similarities between a certain gut bacteria and the protein found in joint's cartilage, which could help explain why the immune system attacks its own cells in rheumatoid arthritis. DNA sequencing and identifying organisms in the gut biome are key tools in this research, which could lead to reducing the incidence rate of the disease by stopping the bacteria from proliferating.

Recent research suggests that a particular protein produced by specific gut bacteria might be linked to rheumatoid arthritis.

Summary
Recent research suggests that a particular protein produced by specific gut bacteria might be linked to rheumatoid arthritis. The study shows that the three-dimensional structure of the protein found in the joint is similar to the protein found in the gut bacteria, which triggers autoimmune responses in the body.
