Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of science and medicine has heralded a shift from group-level to individual-level interventions, marking the direction of precision nutrition. Studies indicate that a one-size-fits-all dietary approach may fall short of addressing the unique nutritional requirements of each individual. This difference is attributed to a lot of factors, including genetic and developmental variations. While these host-specific differences are inherent and largely immutable, the gut microbiota is easier to modify by environmental influences, such as dietary patterns. The gut microbiota, an important component of the human gastrointestinal system, plays a vital role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis and physiological equilibrium. It exerts its influence through participation in digestion, nutrient absorption, the formation of mucosal immune responses, and the synthesis or regulation of numerous bioactive compounds. The variability and composition of the gut microbiota are closely associated with dietary habits, suggesting a reciprocal relationship. By examining this interplay, it can delineate the contact between dietary intake and gut microbiota, thereby facilitating targeted nutritional planning and designing personalized nutrition to modulate the microbiota and promote human health.
The aim of this proposed Special Issue on “Personalized Nutrition and Human Gut Microbiota” is to publish selected papers detailing specific aspects of personalized nutrition and gut microbiota. Notably, papers (reviews and/or clinical or experimental studies) dealing with the relationship between personalized nutrition and gut microbiota will be included.
