Abstract
Optimizing chemotherapy for breast cancer (BC) remains a critical challenge. Gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis, varying across BC subtypes and stages, influences BC development and chemotherapy response through immune and metabolic pathways. Chemotherapy also disrupts the microbiota, creating a complex bidirectional interaction. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) allows the identification of hidden patterns, deepening our understanding of the microbiota's role. This integrated approach promises to revolutionize BC treatment with novel insights and personalized interventions.
期刊介绍:
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes is a comprehensive platform that promotes research on biofilms and microbiomes across various scientific disciplines. The journal facilitates cross-disciplinary discussions to enhance our understanding of the biology, ecology, and communal functions of biofilms, populations, and communities. It also focuses on applications in the medical, environmental, and engineering domains. The scope of the journal encompasses all aspects of the field, ranging from cell-cell communication and single cell interactions to the microbiomes of humans, animals, plants, and natural and built environments. The journal also welcomes research on the virome, phageome, mycome, and fungome. It publishes both applied science and theoretical work. As an open access and interdisciplinary journal, its primary goal is to publish significant scientific advancements in microbial biofilms and microbiomes. The journal enables discussions that span multiple disciplines and contributes to our understanding of the social behavior of microbial biofilm populations and communities, and their impact on life, human health, and the environment.
