Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In humans and animals, the microbiome is often used to describe the microorganisms that live in or on a particular part of the body, such as the skin, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract. Due to their significant number and importance, the gut microbiome is characterized as an “organ.” This microbial community is essential to the normal form and function of the host in a range of physiologic processes, including energy homeostasis, metabolism, gastrointestinal epithelial health, immunologic activity, and neurobehavioral development and functions. Thus, the frontier findings of the role of gut microbiota in the host’s health and disease development have become crucial for future disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
In this Special Issue, we aim to assemble a collection of research articles, reviews, and case reports that highlight the critical advancements in our understanding of the role of gastrointestinal microbiome in their host’s health and diseases. Your research has the potential to significantly impact the field of microbiology, and we are eager to include your valuable contributions. For this purpose, we cordially invite you to submit articles related to the various aspects of correlations between the gastrointestinal microbiome and diseases.
Dr. Jilei Zhang
