Gut microbiome has been implicated in many aging related diseases, including metabolic diseases, stroke, cognitive impairment and etc. Understanding how gut microbiome, especially which bacteria, is functioning in those diseases is utterly important to guide therapeutic innovations. MMC has made a series of progresses in this area, including the role of gut microbiome in metabolic diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke, liver fibrosis.
