Bifidobacteria-mediated immune system imprinting early in life
“Here we show that a lack of bifidobacteria, and in particular depletion of genes required for human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) utilization from the metagenome, is associated with systemic inflammation and […]
Microbiota from Young Mice Improve Cognitive Function in Older Recipients
“Conducting fecal microbial transplants from young mice to old mice, researchers were able to show a reversal of aging-associated differences and a slowing of cognitive impairments.”
Effects of early-life penicillin exposure on the gut microbiome and frontal cortex and amygdala gene expression
Exposing newborn mice to low-dose penicillin led to substantial changes in intestinal microbiota population structure and composition. Transcriptomic alterations implicate pathways perturbed in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. There also were […]
A catalog of tens of thousands of viruses from human metagenomes reveals hidden associations with chronic diseases
“The lack of a comprehensive database for human-associated viruses has historically stymied efforts to interrogate the impact of the virome on human health. This study probes thousands of datasets to […]
The intestinal neuro-immune axis: crosstalk between neurons, immune cells, and microbes
“Here, we summarize recent studies investigating the crosstalk between gut-innervating neurons, resident immune cells, and epithelial cells at homeostasis and during infection, food allergy, and inflammatory bowel disease.”
