Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent research has highlighted the critical role that dietary nutrients play in shaping the composition and function of our gut microbiota, as well as maintaining intestinal balance, which in turn influences health outcomes. Dietary bioactive compounds have been shown to target enzymes involved in epigenetic gene regulation, thereby having a profound impact on gut health. Moreover, the gut microbiome—often referred to as our "second genome"—and its metabolites act as key players in the intricate dance between diet and gene expression. They influence the release, metabolism, and bioavailability of various dietary agents, shedding light on the variability observed in how individuals respond to dietary interventions in human studies. Thus, understanding the dynamic interplay between nutrition and gut microbiota is essential for unraveling the ways in which different dietary components affect the host–microbe axis and gastrointestinal health. Advancements in this exciting field are crucial for developing personalized, evidence-based dietary interventions aimed at preventing and mitigating intestinal diseases.
