摘要

At a broad, simplistic level, most of us think of microbes as the "bad guys," and the current worldwide Ebola outbreak does not help this perspective. However, there have been hints of partnerships between humans and microbes for centuries. A number of exciting studies have started to unveil the interplay between mammalian and microbial cells in metabolic health, immunity, gut function, colorectal cancer, and even behavior, to name a few. It is humbling to think that microbial cells outnumber human cells by a factor of ten to one and that each of us carries a hundred times as many microbial as human genes. But make no mistake: microbes are not just along for the ride, they are active participants in both their own and their host's health and an (epi)genetic force to be reckoned with. The microbiome is quite likely one of the main determinants of interindividual variability, and understanding human-mi-crobiome intersections will not only aid in bettering human health globally but also help propel personalized medicine and nutrition forward.
