Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Does Evolutionary Medicine Offer New Therapeutic

New studies by Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology and Kiel University suggest evolutionary medicine could offer innovative treatments for chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Research shows gut bacteria rapidly adapt to inflammatory environments, becoming more mobile and aggressive, which could play a central role in IBD. Evolutionary-informed strategies, such as using vitamin B6 to prevent harmful bacterial adaptations and Ancestral-State Restorative Therapy, are being explored. Further research is needed to understand bacterial evolution in different gut regions and IBD subtypes.
