The Human Microbiome and Its Role in Chronic Diseases: Emerging Insights and Therapeutic Implications
Keywords:
Human microbiome, gut microbiota, chronic diseasesAbstract
The human microbiome, composed of trillions of microorganisms residing in various parts of the human body, plays a vital role in maintaining health and regulating physiological processes. Recent advances in sequencing technologies have revealed the complex interactions between host organisms and their microbial communities. Dysbiosis, or imbalance in microbial populations, has been associated with numerous chronic diseases including obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and cardiovascular disorders. This paper reviews current knowledge on the structure and function of the human microbiome, its relationship with chronic diseases, and potential therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring microbial balance. Understanding the microbiome–host interaction may open new opportunities for personalized medicine and innovative treatment strategies.
