Background: Altered intestinal dendritic cell (DC) function underlies dysregulated T-cell responses to bacteria in Crohn's disease (CD) but it is unclear whether composition of the intestinal microbiota impacts local DC function. We assessed the relationship between DC function with disease activity
## Abstract Since many years, the role of the colonic microbiota in maintaining the host's overall health and wellβbeing has been recognized. Dietary modulation of the microbiota composition and activity has been achieved by the use of preβ, proβ and synbiotics. In this review, we will summarize th
