early infancy

How do worms and gut microbes interact during early life?

The authors advocate for further research on worm-microbiota interactions, suggesting that new animal models could help inform strategies for improving health during early life.

AI-powered approach helps researchers to model the infant microbiota

The findings of a recent study show that Q-net can accurately predict the long-term trajectories of gut microbes and identify patterns indicative of future cognitive deficits.

Infant gut microbiota has its own circadian rhythm

The findings of a recent study suggest that the infant gut microbiota begins to develop circadian rhythms soon after birth, with diet having minimal influence on these microbial patterns.

Gut microbiota may shape a newborn’s immune system through serotonin production

The findings of a recent study suggest that the infant microbiota produces neurotransmitters that are required for the development of the immune system.

Breast milk establishes a ‘protective’ gut microbiota, promoting infant health

The findings of a recent study shed light on the role of complement proteins in breast milk and provide a mechanism through which breastfeeding may provide protection from certain bacterial…

Microbial signature is associated with severity of ulcerative colitis in children

The findings of a recent study suggest that the gut microbiota contributes to alterations in the levels of metabolites associated with ulcerative colitis.

Study reveals the trajectory of phages in the infant gut ecosystem

The findings of a recent study suggest that different factors, including maternal seeding and phage persistence in the gut, contribute to the colonization of the gut by phages.

Gut microbes influence cognitive performance in baby mice

The findings of a recent study show that specific gut microbes and their metabolites affect cognition and memory when transplanted into germ-free mice.

Study characterizes the microbiota of milk from mothers with preterm infants

The findings of a recent study shed light on the microbiota of the main nutrition types that preterm infants receive and may inform future studies on the influence of different…

Mice study hints at how gut microbes may protect from childhood obesity

The findings of a recent study suggest that the microbiota-derived metabolite phenyllactic acid can prevent antibiotic-associated obesity in early life.
