Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The gut microbiome has emerged as a dynamic field of study with profound implications for human health. Over the past decade, research has shown the complex interplay between the gut microbiome and various aspects of human health, including nutrition, immune function, metabolism, physiology, and even mental health.

The current Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on the gut microbiome and its implications for human health. We intend to explore the intricate mechanisms governing the gut microbiome–host interactions and their role in both health and disease. Furthermore, we aim to highlight the potential therapeutic applications and both the preclinical and clinical relevance of this knowledge.

This Special Issue will feature cutting-edge research articles, reviews, and perspectives from leading experts in the field. Thus, we welcome diverse contributions, including original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses related to the gut microbiome and its effects on human health. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, microbiome-based therapies, personalized medicine approaches, and the role of diet and lifestyle in shaping the gut microbiome.

We look forward to your contributions.

Methanogenic archaea are a part of the commensal gut microbiota responsible for hydrogen sink and the efficient production of short-chain fatty acids. Dysbiosis of methanogens is suspected to play a role in pathogenesis of variety of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Unlike bacteria, the diversity of archaea seems to be higher in IBD patients compared to healthy subjects, whereas the prevalence and abundance of gut methanogens declines in IBD, especially in ulcerative colitis. To date, studies focusing on methanogens in pediatric IBD are very limited; nevertheless, the preliminary results provide some evidence that methanogens may be influenced by the chronic inflammatory process in IBD. In this review, we demonstrated the development and diversity of the methanogenic community in IBD, both in adults and children. Full article
