Probiotics for Global Health: Advances, Applications and Challenges, Vol II

This Research Topic aims to explore the role of probiotics in promoting global health and contributing to the accomplishment of Sustainable Development Goal 3, “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.” This second edition will also highlight emerging areas such as next-generation probiotics, postbiotics, engineered probiotic strains, and precision microbiome-based interventions. We encourage Original Research and Review articles covering a range of topics, including but not limited to:Role of Probiotics in the Prevention and Management of Infectious Disease - Evaluating the effect of probiotics in the prevention and management of infectious diseases, and highlighting public health improvement from the impact of these diseases.Role of Probiotics in the Prevention and Management of Non-Communicable Diseases - Identifying the potential of probiotics in preventing and managing non-communicable diseases such as colorectal cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity.Role of Probiotics in Improving Maternal and Infant Health - Investigating the impact of probiotics on the health of infants and mothers, as well as child development.Probiotics and Mental Health - Exploring the gut–brain axis, psychobiotics, neuroinflammation, and microbiota-derived neuroactive compounds in mental health regulation. Role of Probiotics and Antimicrobial Resistance - Exploring the role of probiotics in mitigating antimicrobial resistance.Emerging and Precision Microbiome-Based Therapeutics - Exploring next-generation probiotics, postbiotics, and personalized microbiome-based interventions. This includes novel commensal strains, microbial-derived bioactive compounds, and precision strategies aimed at improving targeted health outcomes.Probiotics in Healthy Aging and Longevity - Role of probiotics in promoting healthy aging, modulating age-related microbiome changes, reducing inflammation, and supporting metabolic, cognitive, and immune health in older populations.Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goal, "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages," this Research Topic provides a forum to exchange ideas, developments, and challenges in using probiotics to enhance health and wellbeing. This Research Topic is available in the Food Microbiology and Microorganisms in Vertebrate Digestive Systems sections of Frontiers in Microbiology, as well as the Nutrition and Microbes specialty in Frontiers in Nutrition. Authors are welcome to submit their work to their preferred relevant specialty.Please note Frontiers in Microbiology does not accept Clinical Trial articles, please direct these to the Frontiers in Nutrition specialty during submission.The first edition can be found here: Probiotics for Global Health: Advances, Applications and Challenges Topic editors: STAVROS PLESSAS, Arun K B, Astghik Zaveni Pepoyan, P Nisha Source: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/78551/probiotics-for-global-health-advances-applications-and-challenges-vol-ii
