Gut Feelings

Alessio Fasano, Susie Flaherty
bWhy the microbiome--our rich inner ecosystem of microorganisms--may hold the keys to human health./bbrbrWe are at the dawn of a new scientific revolution. Our understanding of how to treat and prevent diseases has been transformed by knowledge of the microbiome--the rich ecosystem of microorganisms that is in and on every human. These microbial hitchhikers may hold the keys to human health. In iGut Feelings/i, Alessio Fasano and Susie Flaherty show why we must go beyond the older, myopic view of microorganisms as our enemies to a broader understanding of the microbiome as a parallel civilization that we need to understand, respect, and engage with for the benefit of our own health.
