Abstract

Dietary nutrients are linked to gut microbiota and immune interactions, influencing health and disease.

There is a recognized interplay between dietary nutrients and gut microbiota that may affect host health.
Gut microbiota can influence the immune system, potentially impacting immune-mediated diseases.
Dietary interventions targeting gut microbiota might offer new strategies for managing immune-associated diseases.

Simplified

Dietary nutrients and the gut microbiota are increasingly recognized to cross-regulate and entrain each other, and thus affect host health and immune-mediated diseases. Here, we systematically review the current understanding linking dietary nutrients to gut microbiota-host immune interactions, emphasizing how this axis might influence host immunity in health and diseases. Of relevance, we highlight that the implications of gut microbiota-targeted dietary intervention could be harnessed in orchestrating a spectrum of immune-associated diseases.
