Despite extensive investigation into CRC molecular complexity, the systemic role of LRG1 as a mediator linking inflammatory signaling to metabolic reprogramming remains unclear. The modest associations between alpha diversity and cognitive performance warrant further investigations in longitudinal studies. Whether these shifts are reflected in stool microbiota in Malaysian populations remains underexplored.

Further studies are needed to validate the findings and explore the potential of metagenomic sequencing for non-invasive diagnosis and screening of CRC. The study suggests that future research should focus on the development of fecal biomarkers for CRC diagnosis and screening. The study highlights the importance of considering the gut microbiome in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.

One challenge identified is the need to understand the mechanisms by which LMW-LF exerts its effects on intestinal inflammation. Another challenge is the need to translate the findings from the murine model to humans. The study also faces the challenge of characterizing the complex interactions between the gut microbiota and the host immune system.
