Microbiome Therapies Move Closer Thanks to Novel Computer Model

Scientists say they have developed a mathematical model that can predict the effectiveness of microbiome therapies that manipulate the immune system through live bacteria. The team believes their work (“ Computer-Guided Design of Optimal Microbial Consortia for Immune System Modulation ”), published in  eLife, could help doctors choose the most appropriate treatment for people with inflammatory or allergic diseases.“Manipulation of the gut microbiota holds g
