New Insights into the Development of Personalized Therapies

The article titled “Personalized Response of Parkinson’s Disease Gut Microbiota to Nootropic Medicinal Herbs In Vitro: A Proof of Concept” by Christine Tara Peterson et al. published in Microorganisms (2023) explores the relationship between gut microbiota and Parkinson’s Disease (PD). This study highlights the personalized response of the gut microbiota in individuals with PD to Ayurvedic nootropic herbs. The results suggest that these herbs have the potential to modulate gut microbiota composition and function, which may be relevant to PD pathology. The personalized nature of the response emphasizes the need for tailored approaches to using medicinal herbs for PD treatment.
