About this Research Topic
The field of host-microbiome interactions has garnered significant attention due to its profound impact on the physiology and health of hosts across various ecosystems. The microbiota, a diverse assembly of microorganisms including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, plays a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of host pathophysiology. Disruptions in this balance, often influenced by environmental factors, can lead to the onset of numerous diseases.
Recent studies have highlighted the importance of regulatory RNAs as key physiological regulators in these interactions, with potential implications for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Despite these advancements, the precise mechanisms by which regulatory RNAs influence host-microbiome dynamics remain unclear. There is a need for further investigation into the complex relationships between RNAs and microbiota, particularly in the context of disease development and progression.
This Research Topic aims to explore the interactions between diverse microbiotas and various types of RNAs, focusing on their impact and modulation of host pathophysiology in humans, animals, and plants. By exploring these interactions, we aim to uncover the potential of regulatory RNAs as biomarkers for diagnosing microbiome-associated diseases.
We encourage Original Research, Review and Mini Review articles surrounding the following topics, but not limited to:
• Regulatory molecules of host–microbiome crosstalk;
• The RNA world of microbiota and ecosystem influence;
• The RNA world of microbiota and impact in human diseases, such as dysbiosis derivatives;
• Roles of probiotics and RNAs in host-microbiome interactions.
