Riassunto

Human-Gut Microbiome: Establishment and Interactions gives an overview of microbiome establishments in humans and basic technologies used to decipher the structure and function of gut microbiome. Other sections focus on the application of microbiomics in different disease manifestations, such as obesity, diabetes, and more. The book provides the basics, as well as mechanistic knowledge underpinning the structural and functional understanding of the microbiome. With the advancement in omics technologies, as well as the development of bioinformatic tools, much research has been undertaken to decipher the microbiomes of different hosts.

This research is generating valuable insights into micro-ecological niches and their impact on humans, hence this new release covers these new insights. The book will be a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, postgraduate and graduate students who are interested in understanding the impact and importance of the omics approach to humans and their microbiomes.

• Provides an overview of the recent developments in meta-omics technologies
• Serves as a unique reference for healthcare professionals, pursuing research on gut homeostasis, and functional foods, as well as nutritional dietary management
• Focuses on the application of microbiomics in different disease manifestations, such as obesity, diabetes, and more

Dalla quarta di copertina

With the advancement in omics technologies, as well as the development of bioinformatic tools, much research has been undertaken to decipher the microbiomes of different hosts. The research on microbiomes is generating valuable insights into micro-ecological niches and their impact on humans. Among the challenges is how microbiomes are established and how they translate into beneficial health effects. The other challenges in microbiome research are the mapping and clarifying of the metabolic and functional interactions between different microbial niches within the microbiome, due to the sheer diversity and huge number of microbial groups. Microbiome: An Interface of Functional and Translational Research. Human-Microbiome Interaction addresses these challenges, based on fundamentals, as well as advances in research of microbiome related to health.

Microbiome: Establishment and Interactions is divided into two sections. The first section gives an overview of microbiome establishments in humans and the basic technologies used to decipher the structure and function of gut microbiome. The second section focuses on the application of microbiomics in different disease manifestations, such as obesity, diabetes, and others. Microbiome: An Interface of Functional and Translational Research. Human-Microbiome Interaction provides the basics, as well as mechanistic knowledge underpinning the structural and functional understanding of the microbiome.

Microbiome: Establishment and Interactions is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, postgraduate and graduate students, who are interested in understanding the impact and importance of the omics approach to humans and their microbiomes.
