Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is increasing interest in elucidating how the gut microbiome modulates our physiology, both in health and in disease. Recent technological advancements and expanded efforts have led to tremendous growth in our collective knowledge of the host microbiome. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect what is known about the gut microbiome, how it is connected to the development of disease and to identify the bacterial and biochemical targets. In addition, this Special Issue is also concerned with the nutrition–gut microbiome–physiology axis. This Special Issue welcomes research papers and reviews that cover a wide range of topics, including food nutrition and the gut microbiome, as well as metabolite biomarkers and underlying mechanisms. We hope to expand upon what is currently known about the gut microbiota in this Special Issue, by collecting cutting-edge findings in order to shed light on how the gut microbiome can control health and disease.
