Humans as an extended phenotype of their microbiota.

Theory in biosciences = Theorie in den Biowissenschaften - 23 May 2026

Bordonaro Michael

Abstract excerpt

The human gastrointestinal system is colonized by microbiota, consisting of more than 100 trillion cells, which is essential for gastrointestinal development, nutrient absorption, and immune system function. Disruption of the microbiota has been linked to obesity, metabolic syndromes, inflammatory bowel disorders, and cancer. The microbiota has also been linked to nervous system development, and animal studies...
