Chronic enteropathy in dogs and cats is characterized by overlapping unspecific features that often result from persistent dysbiosis and irreversible changes in intestinal function. Learn why different patients respond differently to therapy.

Alison Manchester, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM)

Chronic enteropathy in dogs is a common clinical problem with a poorly understood pathogenesis. Learn how transcriptomic studies are providing new insights into the mechanisms that contribute to clinical signs of chronic enteropathy.

Katie Tolbert, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM, Nutrition)

Epithelial barrier dysfunction, oxidant injury, and inflammation are common to both atopic dermatitis and chronic inflammatory enteropathy in dogs. These shared features are attractive targets for nutritional approaches to patient management.

Discover what is currently known about the role of acute intestinal injury in the development of chronic enteropathies and food allergies in dogs.

Liam O’Mahony, PhD, PD

Both gut and skin host highly interactive ecosystems that contribute to immune responses. Learn how dysbiosis of the skin microbiome correlates with atopic dermatitis and food allergies in people.

Simin N. Meydani, DVM, PhD

Normal immune and inflammatory responses are influenced by many factors, including aging and nutrition. Learn how specific nutrients can modify inflammatory and cell-mediated immune responses.

Expand your knowledge on how nutrition can be leveraged to modify inflammation and immunity.

Niharika A. Duggal, BSc (Hons), PhD, PGCHE

Microbiome-based therapies, which offer a range of health benefits, are attracting interest as a target for anti-immune ageing therapies.

Natasha J. Olby, VetMb, PhD, DACVIM (Neurology)
