Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The gut microbiome is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of human health and disease, influencing host metabolism, immune function, and therapeutic responses. Advances in sequencing technologies, multi-omics approaches, and bioinformatic tools have accelerated the identification of disease-associated microbial signatures, highlighting the potential of the gut microbiome as a valuable resource for clinical decision-making.
This Special Issue aims to gather current research and clinical advances on the application of gut microbiome science to precision medicine. We welcome contributions exploring microbiome-based biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prognosis, patient stratification, and prediction of treatment response. We also invite submissions addressing microbiome-targeted therapeutic strategies, such as dietary interventions, probiotics, postbiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and emerging microbiome-based therapeutics.
By bringing together microbiologists, clinicians, and translational researchers, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of how gut microbiome profiling can support personalized healthcare and improve patient outcomes. Review articles, original research articles, and communications on this topic are welcome.
