Gut worms protect babies’ brains from inflammation

20 julio 2015

Gut worms can protect babies’ brains from inflammation and long-term learning and memory problems caused by newborn infections, a new study on rats has shown. Expectant mother rats with tapeworms even passed the protective benefits on to their worm-free pups, the researchers found. The findings could point to new ways to prevent or treat the chronic brain inflammation linked to cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, autism and depression.img src=»http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/2dOup5ssgHg» height=»1″ width=»1″ alt=»»/
