Neuroscience, Pediatrics
New therapeutic approaches that target the gut-microbiota-immune-brain axis could help to protect preterm infants from brain injury. A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe claims.
Pediatrics
A new study published in Cell Reports claims that neonatal susceptibility to bacterial meningitis depends both on age and the gut microbiota maturity.
Gynecology, Pediatrics
Restoring a baby’s natural exposure to maternal vaginal microbes after a C-section birth can normalize the development of the microbiota in newborn.
Nutrition, Pediatrics
Cowpea-based foods protect the gut microbiota, helping malnourished children to grow stronger. A new study published in Cell Reports Medicine claims.
Pediatrics
The composition of a baby’s first stool could determine whether children are likely to develop allergies and other conditions later in life.
Pediatrics
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe claims that the infant gut is home to bacteria that harbor hundreds of antibiotic-resistance genes.
Pediatrics
Several bacteria associated with human health are acquired late in childhood — albeit with different developmental dynamics.
Pediatrics
A molecule in breast milk, called betaine, may lower the risk of obesity by preventing accelerated growth in newborns and supporting bacterial species.
Pediatrics
Microbial and fungal communities interactions shape the gut microbiota in preterm babies. The findings could help to develop microbiota interventions.
Pediatrics
A new study published in Science Advances suggest that the gut microbiota should be considered when studying the regulation of maternal behavior.
