Recent advances in pediatric gut diseases

On September 4 and 5, 2016, a workshop on the molecular biology of the gut was held during the Congress of the German Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine (DGKJ) in Munich. This was a multidisciplinary workshop that combined molecular, cellular, immunological, and microbiological aspects of the gastrointestinal tract with clinical medicine and nutritional science. Experts viewed the gut as an organ from different angles and presented timely and comprehensive reviews on the impact of intestinal cellular and protein components and the corresponding basic mechanisms that maintain the functional capacities and the physiological hemostasis of the gut.
