early infancy
Pediatrics
The findings of a new research suggest that during the early maturation, the microbiota would be more likely to be influenced by other microbiotas on a not-too-distant level of maturity.
Scientific research
New research offers insights into how human gut bacteria recognize sulfated glycans. The findings could help to develop interventions for diseases where sulfated glycan metabolism is altered.
Pediatrics
New research shows that microbiota diversity appears early in infants from nonindustrial populations and could be traced back to their mothers as well as to the local environment.
Pediatrics
The findings of a new research suggest that IgG in breast milk promotes immunity against intestinal pathogens and shapes the development of the gut microbiota and immune cells in early…
Pediatrics
A new clinical trial indicates that Bifidobacterium strains can accelerate microbiota maturation, with positive immunological effects in premature babies.
Pediatrics
A new study evaluates the association of multiple breast milk feeding practices with infant gut microbiota composition during a baby’s first year.
Immunology, Pediatrics
A. Macpherson et al. reviewed studies that looked at the interaction between the gut microbiota and their mammalian hosts, from fetal development to the early postnatal period.
Allergology, Pediatrics
A new study (The Lancet Respiratory Medicine) suggests that the decrease in the incidence of childhood asthma is a consequence of reduced antibiotic use.
Scientific research
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, showed the existence of shared gut microbial strains in twins, even after years post separation.
Allergology, Pediatrics
A study suggests that the effects of dietary interventions during pregnancy are mediated by different factors, including the infant airway microbiota.
