Host–Microbiome–Diet Interactome: Molecular Mechanisms, Biomolecular Interfaces, and Translational Applications

The human gut represents a dynamic ecosystem in which host physiology, resident microbiota, and dietary inputs continuously interact to regulate metabolic homeostasis, immune function, and overall health. Emerging research has revealed that this host–microbiome–diet interactome operates through complex molecular and biomolecular interfaces involving microbial metabolites, host receptors, signaling cascades, epigenetic modulation, and immune mediators. Disruptions in these finely tuned interactions contribute to the pathogenesis of numerous chronic conditions, including metabolic syndrome, inflammatory disorders, neurodegenerative diseases,... see more
