Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The microbiota, a biological ecosystem that communicates strongly with the host, has been widely identified as an emerging factor of inflammation, which further impacts cancer. Colon cancer, one of the most common malignancies worldwide, is frequently associated with dramatic alterations in the microbial composition of the tumor. Although the effects of several specific bacterial strains on colon inflammation and cancer have been reported, how the microbiota communicates with the colon to promote inflammatory responses is still poorly understood. In this Special Issue, we focus on the role of the microbiota in colon inflammation and cancer, especially its detailed molecular mechanism and clinical treatment, aiming to develop management strategies for colon-related diseases through targeting the microbiota.
