Intestinal flora is a complex ecosystem, and its changes can affect many physiological processes in the body. At present, the structure and function of intestinal flora have become many interdisciplinary topics. The close relationship between intestinal flora and immunology has been verified by numerous studies. As we all know, more and more studies have confirmed that medicinal homologous foods play a crucial role in the regulation of intestinal flora. Consequently, the intersection of the hotspots deserves further investigation.
Although it has been confirmed that medicinal homologous foods have an impact on the regulation of intestinal flora, research on their specific mechanisms of action and related targets for regulating intestinal homeostasis and scoped immune systems is still in the exploratory stage. During the digestion process of pharmaceutical homologous foods, the functions of their active components are inseparable from the decomposition and metabolism of intestinal flora, and even their key targets may be located in certain intestinal bacteria. All these assumptions require further testing.
In addition, the current research on intestinal microflora and medicinal homologous foods is no longer limited to correlation analysis. Recent research has explored changes in the immune system based on the characteristics of interactions between intestinal flora, food, and drug-homologous foods. This is of great significance for the further development of dietary guidance and the development of medicinal and medicinal homologous foods.
This Research Topic aims to elucidate the impacts of the interaction of intestinal microbiota with medicinal homologous foods compounds on immunology. We also welcome submissions of Original Research and Review articles on the effects of the interaction mechanism of intestinal microbiota with food on immunology.
Subtopics include but are not limited to:
• Relationship between medicinal homologous foods and intestinal microorganisms;
• Effects of medicinal homologous foods on intestinal microflora in patients with immune system diseases;
• Intestinal microbial-related molecules involved in medicinal homologous foods’ immunoregulation;
• Major intestinal microbiota related to immunoregulation with medicinal homologous foods;
• Interaction between bioactive compounds and gut microbiota, including both in vitro and in vivo studies.
