Transplantation of faecal microbiota: a new weapon against type 2 diabetes?
14 novembre 2024
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. In fact, it represents a major public health challenge. This is all the more true given that current evidence suggests that conventional treatments are not always effective and may be associated with undesirable side-effects. Given the limitations of these treatments, the search for therapeutic alternatives is a priority.
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which involves introducing healthy intestinal flora into a patient, has shown promising potential in the treatment of certain diseases (Clostridium difficile infection, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.). With this in mind, this study looked at the use of FMT to treat T2DM, to assess its effectiveness and limitations.Sign in to read the rest
