Abstract in brief

Dietary gluten, specifically gliadin, enhances the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, increasing their ability to kill pancreatic beta cells and secrete cytokines like IFN.
The study shows that gluten stimulates pancreatic cells and immune cells in both lab (in vitro) and living organisms (in vivo), leading to increased inflammatory responses linked to diabetes development.
In mice, consuming gluten raises certain markers (NKG2D and CD71) on NK cells across immune organs, suggesting gluten boosts NK cell activity that may contribute to the onset of type 1 diabetes.

Impacts of Short-term Gluten-Free Diet on Gut Microbiome Changes

A short-term gluten-free diet causes changes in the human gut microbiome, particularly reducing certain bacteria like Veillonellaceae, which are involved in starch metabolism. The diet also affects microbial activity…
