چکیده
Recent technological advancements have allowed for the in-depth investigation of the complex microbial communities present in the human gut. It is well known that these microbes, often referred to as the gut ‘microbiome’, are intricately involved with digestion. More recent research has revealed roles of the microbiome in several human diseases such as Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as possible links to diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and others. Even more surprising are links between the gut microbiome and the immune system, neurological function, and normal development.
