Neonatal fungi promote metabolic health

A microbiota-mediated macrophage-dependent mechanism may be used to reduce diabetes incidence in vivo. 

Gut bacteria alone might influence lung function, contribute to asthma risk

The findings of a recent study highlight the importance of early-life gut microbes in shaping lung health and add to evidence that microbiota composition can influence asthma risk.

Early-life diet can shape the developing infant gut microbiota

The gut microbiota evolves throughout early life, especially during key transitions phases such as weaning.

New tools reveal insights into Bifidobacterium’s role in gut health

Researchers have developed new tools to better understand the role of Bifidobacterium breve, revealing its competitive growth strategies and potential for supporting the immune system.

Delayed gut microbiota maturation in cystic fibrosis may contribute to health issues

Delayed microbiota maturation in infants with cystic fibrosis could contribute to disease complications, highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

A mother’s gut microbes may influence stem cells in the next generation

Mice born to mothers exposed to Akkermansia muciniphila during pregnancy showed improvements in stem cell activity.

Gut microbiota might be linked to brain development in preterm infants

A study revealed a link between gut microbiota composition and brain development in preterm infants, suggesting that specific bacteria and their metabolites can influence neurodevelopment.

Early-life microbiota might influence the severity of respiratory infections

The findings suggest that the microbial communities inhabiting an infant’s nose and throat can play a role in the severity of RSV infections.
