Human Microbiome Modulators: A Computational Biology Approach: An In Silico Approach Towards Modulating Human Microbiome Activity with Natural ... in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 1513)

This book presents a timely and comprehensive examination of the evolving relationship between the human microbiome, pharmacology, and computational science.This volume delves into how computational tools are transforming our understanding of microbiome-host-drug interactions and enabling the development of microbiome-targeted therapeutics.It explores in silico methodologies that predict microbial responses, model drug-induced dysbiosis, and design precision interventions to improve health outcomes. The book is grounded in the recognition that the microbiome plays a critical role in immunity, chronic disease progression, and therapeutic efficacy.With detailed attention to the gut-brain axis, cancer prevention, personalized nutrition, and the metabolic activity of phytochemicals, the chapters offer a rich analysis of natural and synthetic modulators.It highlights how probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics influence health and disease, particularly when assessed through computational mod
