Current understanding of the human microbiome.

TL;DR: This review focuses on studies in humans to describe challenges and propose strategies that leverage existing knowledge to move rapidly from correlation to causation and ultimately to translation into therapies.

Dysbiosis and the immune system

TL;DR: This Review categorizes dysbiosis in conceptual terms and provides an overview of immunological associations; the causes and consequences of bacterial Dysbiosis, and their involvement in the molecular aetiology of common diseases; and implications for the rational design of new therapeutic approaches.

Signals from the gut microbiota to distant organs in physiology and disease

TL;DR: This Review will discuss microbiota–host cross-talk and intestinal microbiome signaling to extraintestinal organs, and review mechanisms of how this communication might contribute to host physiology and discuss how misconfigured signaling may contribute to different diseases.

Succession of microbial consortia in the developing infant gut microbiome

TL;DR: This study revealed that seemingly chaotic shifts in the microbiome are associated with life events; however, additional experiments ought to be conducted to assess how different infants respond to similar life events.
