Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of omics technology, the evidence chain of microbiota’s role in health is becoming increasingly mature. While knowledge of the gut microbiota is rapidly developing in basic research and clinical applications, there is a relative lack of mature evidence for most strains. Therefore, the search for new probiotics and clinical evidence-based research are particularly important.
In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions including high-quality original research articles, clinical studies, and reviews contributing innovative knowledge to understand the role of probiotics and their metabolites in host health. There will be a particular focus on new-generation probiotics, engineered strains, and prebiotics, with in-depth knowledge of their mechanisms or/and supported by clinical data.
