Description
Summary:The human microbiome is a complex network of microorganisms that includes viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The gut virome is an essential component of the immune system, which is responsible for regulating the growth and responses of the host's immune system. The virome maintains a crucial role in the development of numerous diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. The human virome has emerged as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target. This comprehensive review summarizes the present understanding of the virome and its implications in matters of health and disease, with a focus on the Human Microbiome Project.
