Welcome to Pathocast In Review – S2. Ep4
What do diet, the gut microbiome, and multi-omicshave in common? In this episode we explore how the gutmicrobiome, microbial metabolites and Th17 cells may connect ketogenic diets with colorectal cancer protection. We then dive into multi-omic data from infants across Africa and Southeast Asia, where malnutrition emerged as thestrongest predictor of post-discharge mortality, withproteomic biomarkers outperforming metabolic and metagenomic approaches.
