Abstract Summary
Researchers developed a rhesus macaque model that closely mimics human celiac disease, showing similar intestinal damage, antibody responses, and “leaky gut” when exposed to gluten. This breakthrough provides a valuable tool for studying celiac disease mechanisms and intestinal permeability.
Why Brain? 🧠
Researchers developed a rhesus macaque model that mimics human celiac disease, showing how toxic gluten peptides cross intestinal barriers. This breakthrough provides a valuable animal model for studying intestinal permeability and gluten sensitivity mechanisms.
