Beschreibung
Only recently have we begun to appreciate the role of microbiome in health and disease. Environmental factors and change of life style including diet significantly shape human microbiome that in turn appears to modify gut barrier function affecting nutrient & electrolyte absorption and inflammation. Approaches that can reverse the gut dysbiosis represent as reasonable and novel strategies for restoring the balance between host and microbes.
In the book, we offer summary and discussion on the advances in understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms of microbial host interactions in human diseases. We will not only discuss intestinal bacterial community, but also viruses, fungi and oral microbiome. Microbiome studies will facilitate diagnosis, functional studies, drug development and personalized medicine. Thus, this book will further highlight the microbiome in the context of health and disease, focusing on mechanistic concepts that underlie the complex relationships between host and microbes.
Novel theme: no other book is combining host-bacterial interaction and organoid systems in studying human diseases Multiple disciplinary: covers progress in host-microbiota interactions, using organoids, cell cultures, animal models, and human samples Broad audience: physiologists and students working on the inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases, infectious diseases, cancers, and other human diseases will be most interested in this book. Gastroenterologists, pathologists, microbiologists, and immunologists will also have interests in this book

“This is a stellar contribution to the medical field. It addresses the rapidly expanding and evolving understanding in an area of human physiology that is currently of intense medical interest. Each chapter clearly shows that work in this field has the potential of producing watershed advances in human medicine. … This book is especially valuable to pediatricians, but should be read by all practicing physicians, medical students, and researchers working in GI physiology and disease.” (David R. Bell, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2018)
