Professor John Cryan's book Microbial Endocrinology published by Springer

19 Sep 2014

Congratulations to Professor Cryan on the publication of his recent book Microbial Endocrinology: The Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis in Health and Disease

The field of microbial endocrinology is expressly devoted to understanding the mechanisms by which the microbiota  interact with the host (“us”). This interaction is a two-way street and the driving force that governs these interactions are the neuroendocrine products of both the host and the microbiota. Chapters include neuroendocrine hormone-induced changes in gene expression and microbial endocrinology and probiotics. This is the first in a series of books dedicated to understanding how bi-directional communication between host and bacteria represents the cutting edge of translational medical research, and hopefully identifies new ways to understand the mechanisms that determine health and disease.​ (Photo B.Riedewald)
