About this Research Topic
As part of our journal’s mission to address key aspects of transplantation, including new avenues for transplantation methods, outcomes and treatment, Frontiers in Transplantation is organizing this Research Topic on Microbiota and Metabolites in Transplant Immunity: from Bench to Bedside.
The Research Topic will accept all article types/reviews/original research within this area of research, with the aim of giving the reader an overview of the latest discoveries on the microbiota and its metabolites in transplantation, including reviews of recent publications, new experimental, translational and clinical findings, new methods and protocols, and new opinions and perspectives.
Sub-themes for this Research Topic may include, but are not limited to:
1. Role of the intestinal microbiota on alloimmunity/transplant outcome
2. Role of graft-associated microbiome on alloimmunity/transplant outcome
3. Role of microbiota-derived metabolites on alloimmunity/transplant outcome
4. Longitudinal studies of microbiota/metabolites in transplant hosts
5. Interventional studies targeting the microbiota or derived metabolites
Keywords: microbiota, alloimmunity, microbiome, microbiota-derived metabolites, transplant immunity
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
