Join us with our guest Alex Huang, founder of Quellthera, will discuss the new science that is revealing how incredibly smart and adaptable bacteria are. Our human microbiome and immune system have immensely complex interactions that have evolved over millions of years. The rapid immune response of living plant cells has shown us a strategy for stopping the attack of harmful bacteria without causing collateral damage to beneficial microflora. This reaction is also part of the human evolutionary diet and, unlike antibiotics, simultaneously moderates toxin assaults, intestinal vulnerability and inflammatory responses. Modern methods are finally enabling us to understand processes such as quorum sensing and other molecular interactions that pave the way to new medicines that can effectively address infections like C. diff. without promoting superbugs
