The microbiome is a collection of microscopic organisms that live in and on the human body. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The microbiome is important for human health, as it helps to regulate the immune system, digest food, and produce vitamins and other nutrients.
Some of the emerging trends in microbiome research include the use of next-generation sequencing technologies to study the human microbiome, the development of new probiotics and prebiotics, and the use of microbiome therapeutics to treat diseases.
