Browsing: Microbiome
The Microbiome refers to the vast communities of microorganisms — including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes — that live in and on plants, animals, and humans. In recent years, research has revealed how these microbial ecosystems play crucial roles in health, disease, digestion, immunity, and even behavior. Scientists are now exploring how the microbiome interacts with its host, how it can be shaped by diet, environment, and medication, and how it might be harnessed for new therapies and treatments.
