Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on the role of the gut microbiome in human health and disease is planned to have a comprehensive collection of review articles and original research articles in this field. Recent advances in the field of microbiomics have delved deep into the role of trillions of prokaryotes that reside in our gut. The complex interplay of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea act in complete harmony to preserve homeostasis. Any change in this complex interplay from altered external or internal stimuli is known to alter microbes’ metabolism and likely contribute to host pathology. Comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, dietary changes, stress, and other related physiological conditions have been shown to exhibit poor outcomes in the microbiome–immune crosstalk, cause leaky gut syndrome, lead to endotoxemia, and can affect multiple organ functions.
This Special Issue welcomes papers addressing the different environmental, physiological, and pathological underpinnings of microbial dysbiosis in human disease development.
Dr. Saurabh Chatterjee
