“How do environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle impact on the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and obesity in children?”
Online - 4th November, 2021 / 15:00 – 16:30 CET
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The objective of this workshop is to disseminate the most recent scientific knowledge on the role of environmental factors, i.e., diet and lifestyle, on the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and obesity. Recent evidence indicates that the gut microbiota plays a key role in controlling metabolism but also in regulating innate and adaptive immunity and preventing systemic inflammation. Both obesity and Type 1 diabetes are characterized by systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation and can be regulated by the gut microbiota composition. Dr Falcone will give an introduction on the NUTRISHIELD project and will explain the rationale and importance of building an informatic platform to integrate different clinical and research data regarding dietary habits, lifestyle but also systemic inflammation and gut barrier integrity and microbiota composition in children with type 1 diabetes and obesity. Prof Malin Flodstrom-Tullberg (The Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden) and Dr Petrelli (San Raffaele Scientific Institute) will give an overview on the pathogenetic mechanisms related to, respectively, type 1 diabetes and obesity and will give the most recent insights on how the diet and gut microbiota can influence those diseases.
