Abstract

The human microbiome, once regarded as a passive passenger, is now recognized as a dynamic and essential determinant of human physiology, shaping immunity, metabolism, neurodevelopment, and therapeutic responsiveness across the lifespan. Advances in multi-omic technologies, experimental models, and computational approaches have revealed mechanistic insights into how microbial communities modulate host systems across diverse body sites, including the gut, skin, lungs, oral cavity, and reproductive tract. The clinical translation of this knowledge has begun to redefine early-life programming, cardiometabolic regulation, immune homeostasis, neuropsychiatric resilience, and cancer therapy response. Innovative strategies such as phage therapy, live biotherapeutics, precision nutrition, and microbiota transplantation illustrate the therapeutic potential of harnessing microbial functions to prevent or treat disease. In parallel, large-scale initiatives cataloging the microbiome of underexplored niches, such as the vagina and skin, are advancing health equity by broadening representation in microbial reference datasets. Yet significant challenges persist, including interindividual variability, incomplete functional annotation of microbial “dark matter,” and the absence of validated biomarkers. Addressing these gaps requires standardized methodologies, harmonized regulatory frameworks, and longitudinal studies across diverse populations. This review outlines the progress and remaining hurdles in translating microbiome science into clinical practice and concludes that the microbiome now stands at the forefront of a paradigm shift, transforming concepts of disease etiology, therapeutic design, and the future of individualized medicine.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
