Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Gut Microbes focuses on the role of the gut microbiome in host health and disease. Research explores microbial influence on immune function, metabolic processes, and neurodevelopment, particularly through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Studies also investigate the impact of microbial metabolites and host-microbiota interactions in conditions such as inflammatory diseases, cancer, and metabolic disorders. The journal examines how factors like diet, early-life exposures, and therapeutic interventions modulate the gut microbiome.
