Microbiome and Liver Health

Researchers in this track investigate the bidirectional relationship between the gut microbiome and liver function. Studies explore the role of dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of liver diseases such as cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, and alcoholic liver disease, and assess microbiome-targeted interventions including probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for improving liver health.
