Gut microbes and their metabolites are actively involved in the development regulation of host immunity, which can influence disease susceptibility. Herein, we review most recent research advancements gut microbiota–immune axis. We discuss detail how microbiota is a tipping point for neonatal immune as indicated by newly uncovered phenomenon, such maternal imprinting, utero intestinal metabolome, weaning reaction. describe shapes both innate adaptive immunity with emphasis on short-chain fatty acids secondary bile acids. also comprehensively delineate disruption axis results immune-mediated diseases, gastrointestinal infections, inflammatory bowel cardiometabolic disorders (e.g., cardiovascular diabetes, hypertension), autoimmunity rheumatoid arthritis), hypersensitivity asthma allergies), psychological anxiety), cancer colorectal hepatic). further encompass role fecal transplantation, probiotics, prebiotics, dietary polyphenols reshaping therapeutic potential. Continuing, examine modulates therapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, JAK anti-TNF therapies. lastly mention current challenges metagenomics, germ-free models, recapitulation to achieve fundamental understanding regulates immunity. Altogether, this proposes improving immunotherapy efficacy from perspective microbiome-targeted interventions.

Psychosocial stress and mood-related disorders, such as depression, are prevalent vulnerability to these conditions is heightened during pregnancy. induces consequences via several mechanisms including the gut microbiota-brain axis associated signaling pathways. Previous preclinical work indicates that prenatal alters maternal microbial composition impairs offspring development. Importantly, although fecal vaginal microenvironments undergo alterations across pregnancy, we lack consensus regarding which shifts adaptive or maladaptive in presence of depression. Clinical studies interrogating relationships have identified unique taxa but been limited study design.
