Core Tip	This review article explores the crucial role of gut microbiota and their metabolites in immune regulation, gene expression, and disease progression. It introduces the gut-organ axis hypothesis, linking systemic genetic factors with inflammatory bowel disease progression and treatment response. The study emphasizes microbiota-targeted therapies, such as probiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and dietary interventions, as promising strategies in precision medicine. Future research should focus on personalized microbiome-based treatments, leveraging machine learning and advanced analytics to optimize therapies. These insights pave the way for microbiome-driven interventions, revolutionizing treatments for inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune diseases, and cancer.
