- The article describes molecular mimicry as an established route by which infections can cause autoimmunity. — IBS, SIBO, and the Gut Microbiome: Food Poisoning as Root Cause
- Anti-CdtB antibodies can cross-react with vinculin in gut nerve cells. — IBS, SIBO, and the Gut Microbiome: Food Poisoning as Root Cause
- Vinculin is described as a structural motor protein important for gut nerve cell interconnections. — IBS, SIBO, and the Gut Microbiome: Food Poisoning as Root Cause
- Cross-reactive antibody attack on vinculin is said to sever gut nerve interconnections and persist after infection clears. — IBS, SIBO, and the Gut Microbiome: Food Poisoning as Root Cause
- The migrating motor complex is described as the main structural casualty of this autoimmune mechanism. — IBS, SIBO, and the Gut Microbiome: Food Poisoning as Root Cause
