The hygiene hypothesis suggests that the resulting reduced exposure to micro-organisms has led to disordered regulation of the immune system, and hence to increases in certain chronic inflammatory disorders, like allergic disorders, autoimmunity, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, depression, some cancers and perhaps Alzheimer and Parkinson. This book discusses the evidence for and against in the context of Darwinian medicine, which uses knowledge of evolution to cast light on human diseases. The approach is interdisciplinary, looking at man’s microbiological history, at the biology of the effects of microorganisms on the immune system, and at the implications for chronic inflammatory disorders in multiple organ systems. Finally, the authors describe progress in the exploitation of microorganisms or their components as novel prophylactics and treatments.. | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Hepatitis; alzheimer‘s disease; autoimmunity; bacteria; biology; diseases; evolution; hygiene; immune system | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7643-8903-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-7643-8903-1Series ISSN 1422-7746 Series E-ISSN 2296-4525 | issn_series | 1422-7746 | copyright | Birkhäuser Basel 2009 |
