Human Gut Microbiome and Diet in Health and Diseases II

Dear Colleagues,

Following a very successful first edition, we are pleased to announce the launch of a second edition of a Special Issue on the “Human Gut Microbiome and Diet in Health and Diseases”.

Prudent dietary practices and quality are important lifestyle factors concordant with human health. The intestines are the largest interface between the internal and external environment. Subsequently, the gastrointestinal tract harbors the largest biomass and concentration of bacteria. Additionally, resident in the intestines is an extensive mucosal immune and host immuno-modulation network, as well as a nutrient metabolism site that maintains the integrity of the gut architecture and microbiome, facilitating control of pathobiont influences. The inter-relationships between dietary practices, the gut microbiome and keeping local mucosal immunity activities in equilibrium are critical signals for health maintenance and longevity.

Dr. Luis Vitetta
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information
