Diet can impact the efficacy of prebiotics and probiotics. A new perspective article in Nature Microbiology makes 10 recommendations for designing, conducting, and reporting clinical trials of prebiotics and probiotics that support best practices in microbiome research.
The gut, its microbiota, and the liver communicate through complex interactions. This communication, known as the gut-liver axis, plays a crucial role in maintaining liver health and preventing disease. We will explore the role of gut microbiota in the gut-liver axis and delve into the emerging microbiota-based therapies that hold promise for liver diseases.
