Advancing Multi-Organ Health: Insights into the Gut–Liver, Gut–Kidney, and Gut–Lung Axis
The gastrointestinal system is increasingly recognized as a central regulator of systemic health, extending its influence far beyond digestion. Scientific advancements in the study of the gut–liver, gut–kidney, and gut–lung axes have revealed complex, bidirectional interactions that play a critical role in the pathogenesis and management of various chronic diseases. The 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition, scheduled for December 10–11, 2026, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will feature Track 14: Gut–Liver, Gut–Kidney, and Gut–Lung Axis , dedicated to exploring these vital interconnections and their clinical implications.
