Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on pioneering research that reveals novel roles and mechanisms of gut microbiota in health and disease, highlighting underexplored and emerging areas that push beyond current knowledge. We are particularly interested in contributions that offer new perspectives on the gut–brain axis, introduce groundbreaking microbiome-based biomarkers for early disease detection, and explore innovative microbiome-targeted therapies. Additionally, we aim to feature studies on how gut microbiota interact with environmental factors, driving personalized medicine approaches and offering fresh insights into complex conditions such as autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders. This Special Issue will serve as a cutting-edge platform for researchers to share their latest discoveries, spotlighting the transformative potential of gut microbiota research in shaping future therapeutic strategies.
