Academic Press Human Microbiome in Health and Disease - Part A (Volume 191) (Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science, Volume 191)

Human Microbiome in Health and Disease, Volume 191, Part A is the representative of selective chapters covering updated knowledge of human microbiome written by renowned science faculty living across the globe. The chapters in this volume include an introduction to human microbiome, Structure, functions and diversity of healthy human microbiome, Role of human microbiome in cancer, Gut microbiota and gastrointestinal cancer, Dysbiosis of human microbiome and metabolic diseases, Gut microbiome and type 2 diabetes, Gut microbiome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Hepatic drug metabolism and intestinal microbiota, Emerging tools for understanding the human microbiome, and Microbiome therapeutics: Opportunity and challenges. These chapters cover the composition, diversity, dynamics and functions of human microbiome in health and disease. This book will form an excellent and informative text on keystone, autochthonous, and exogenous microbiota important for human health in a simple to understand and easy to read format. The central idea of releasing this book is to highlight a number of aspects of the human microbiome in a way that can help the basic understanding of students, researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to perform their research with great interest to serve society wellbeing.
