Host-Microbe Co-metabolism System in Health and Disease is an easy-to-follow reference of research progress in host-microbiome co-metabolism system (HMMS) and how this frontier could imply a better understanding of health, disease, and the discovery of novel drugs. The book summarizes recent studies that are progressing to complete a panorama of the host-microbiome co-metabolism system (HMMS) in health and disease. It discusses how sophisticated bioanalytical tools, tractable model organisms, and artificial intelligence could be integrated to answer key biological questions related to HMMS in the broader context of human health and drug discovery.
- Presents innovative ideas and routes of applying HMMS studies to new drug discovery
- Includes recent advances supporting the host-microbiome co-metabolism system (HMMS) for further research
- Provides information on the signaling basis, linking HMMS to human health and disease
Basic science researchers in microbiology, gastroenterology, neuroscience, immunology, endocrinology, metabolism, and pharmacology
