Abstract

The commensal microbiota is an important source of inter-subject heterogeneity and can impact human health through modulation of host immunity. Because the abundance and metabolic functions of various gut microbes are affected by dietary elements, recent studies in Cell and Science test the links between diet, microbiota, and immune system modulation.
