Microbiota revolution: How gut microbes regulate our lives

Figure 1 The cross-talking axis host/gut microbiota: The gastrointestinal microbiota plays an important role in host physiology, metabolism, and nutrition. An organism with a regular maintenance of the physiological homeostasis leads to eubiosis of the gut microbiota and vice versa. Conversely, an altered physiological homeostasis leads to gut microbiota dysbiosis and vice versa. An alteration in the gut microbial community is linked to several disturbances gut conditions, including cancer, obesity, and a variety of gut disorders. The contribution of beneficial components of the gut microbiota to host physiology, metabolism, and immune function has become the focus of scientific research and will undoubtedly lead to new therapeutic approaches.
