About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is the second volume of the “Community Series in Gut Microbiota and Immunity in Health and Disease: Dysbiosis and Eubiosis's Effects on the Human Body”. Please see the first volume here.
The human body gets its balance and homeostasis from the harboured useful microorganisms. Indeed, the human fetus experiences the first microbial exposure within his/her mother’s body. During the post-partum period, an infant gets formed to be inhabited by different types of useful microorganisms, e.g., archaea, bacteria, fungi, and viruses, collectively known as the microbiota. In particular, the evolution of the gut microbiota throughout life appears to play a pivotal role in both health and disease. On the one hand, metabolic regulation, homeostasis, and a strong immune system depend on gut microbiota balance or eubiosis. On the other hand, gut microbiota dysregulation or dysbiosis is observed in many diseases like diabetes, cancers, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel disorders, atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, neurological disorders, e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, mental health disorders, etc. Interestingly, environmental factors and genetics are involved. Therefore, the interconnection between host-microbiota-environments is a fascinating and emerging area of research to understand health and disease.
As aforementioned, the appearance of dysbiosis or eubiosis directly affects the human body’s status. This research topic aims to involve all the cases associated with gut microbiome composition, environmental factors (such as diet and nutrients), genetics, and the related consequences whether positive or negative in both men and women. Hence, a wide range of items are regarded in the present Research Topic.
- Eubiosis: Health and homeostasis condition
- Gut microbiome and Metabolic regulation
- Dysbiosis: Diseases and negative consequences
- Gut microbiome and Immune network interactions
