Hello again everyone! Another change of seasons is upon us and I hope you all remain safe with the upcoming flu season as well as with the continuing covid-19 pandemic. Remember to continue hand washing, social distancing and masking to protect those most vulnerable. Todays post includes more interesting work relating to the gut microbiome with respect to obesity and also as a marker for the disease activity and therapeutic outcome in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Enjoy!
