The findings of a recent study offer new insights into the diversity of the human virome and provide a resource that may help future research into the viruses that populate…
Gynecology, Pediatrics
The findings of a recent study show that a mother’s vaginal microbiota does not affect infant gut microbiota composition and development.
Gastroenterology, Pediatrics
A recent study shows that microbiota maturation during weaning contributes to normal immune development and protection from infection.
Gastroenterology, Nutrition
Diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota confer protection against respiratory infections by regulating the development of key components of the immune system.
Gastroenterology, Pediatrics
The findings of a new study suggest that mothers transmit bacteria to their infants through multiple routes — a process that ensures that babies receive essential microbes.
Neuroscience, Pediatrics
Collaborative initiatives would be needed to detect subtle associations and understand the role of the gut microbiome in the development of psychiatric symptoms over time.
Pediatrics
The findings of a new study suggest that infants acquire their gut virome from their diet and environment rather than from their mothers.
Pediatrics
The findings of a new study suggest that a newborn’s lung immunity is influenced by the interplay between maternal γδ T cells, the gut microbiota and microbial-derived SCFAs.
Gastroenterology, Pediatrics
The findings of a new study suggest that mycobiome maturation and infant growth trajectories are linked.
Gynecology, Pediatrics
The findings of a new study support the ‘sterile womb’ hypothesis and may help scientists avoid pitfalls of contamination in the analysis of samples where microbes are expected to be…
