Gut microbiota and health

This cluster of papers explores the diversity, function, and impact of the gut microbiome on human health, including its role in metabolic diseases, immune responses, and the effects of diet. It covers topics such as microbial communities, short-chain fatty acids, metagenomic analysis, host-microbial interactions, and the association of the gut microbiome with conditions like obesity and inflammatory diseases.

156,190 works

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
