Our research group has made progress in the study of prebiotics (food components such as arabinoxylans and fructooligosaccharides) capable of promoting the growth of groups of beneficial bacteria that are part of the gut microbiome. We have also evaluated the relationship between the gut microbiome and the Rett syndrome in murine models. The researchers involved in these projects are Gabriela Perez, Candela Paesani, Malena Moiraghi, Lorena Sciarini and Romina Lancetti, from
ICYTAC, with the collaboration of Dr Alicia Degano (CIQUIBIC).
