🔬Advancing microbiome-based therapies and diagnostics: What’s next? AGA’s new paper outlines the roadmap to make microbiome science clinically actionable. The gut microbiome holds incredible promise, but challenges like limited model accuracy, inconsistent reproducibility, and a lack of reliable biomarkers remain. Among AGA’s top recommendations, here’s what experts recommend: ✅Shift focus from diversity to functionality: Understand how microbes impact health through their mechanisms, not just classifications. ✅Enhance sampling tools: Smart pills and multi-omics could improve accuracy and insights. ✅Standardize data analysis: Reliable, consistent platforms are critical for big data and comparative research. ✅Strengthen rigor and reproducibility: Trials should use standardized methods and all studies should report the STORMS checklist. This guidance sets the stage for future innovation in microbiome-based care. Read the full article to learn more: https://ow.ly/iOMb50Ug6K3 #Healthcare #MicrobiomeScience #ClinicalResearch
