This lecture explores the critical role of the gut microbiome in immune tolerance and autoimmunity. It examines how gut-based immune priming, interactions between bacterial endotoxins like LPS, and key microbial species influence T-cell differentiation and immune regulation. The discussion includes mechanisms behind autoimmune conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn’s Disease, along with research on analytes like short-chain fatty acids and targeted interventions to support immune balance.
