Probiotiques et régulation de la réponse immune allergique et inflammatoire

(It is obvious that development of dietary supplements containing strains beneficial to human health (substantiated by proper clinical trials !), would constitute a safe, efficient and cheap strategy to assist in the treatment or prevention of diseases which are linked to a dysbalance of the mucosal immune system). The clarification of the mechanisms by which bacteria or their metabolites reinforce intestinal homeostasis will allow a more efficient selection of active strains and will also help to determine optimal administration protocols. (These objectives represent a high priority in the field of probiotic applications.).
