Immune system maturation begins early in life, but few studies have examined how early-life
gut microbiota colonization educates the neonatal immune system. Bifidobacteria …

Bifidobacteria typically represent the most abundant bacteria of the human gut microbiota in
healthy breast-fed infants. Members of the Bifidobacterium bifidum species constitute one of …

Probiotics are increasingly administered to premature infants to prevent necrotizing
enterocolitis and neonatal sepsis. However, their effects on gut microbiome assembly and …

Infant gut microbiota development affects the host physiology throughout life, and short-
chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are promising key metabolites mediating microbiota-host …

The early-life gut microbiome development has long-term health impacts and can be
influenced by factors such as infant diet. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), an essential …

Despite the significant role of the gut microbiota in infant health and development, little is
known about the ecological processes determining gut microbial community assembly …

Human milk provides essential nutrients for infant nutrition. A large proportion of human milk
is composed of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), which are resistant to digestion by the …

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex, multi-functional glycans present in
human breast milk. They represent an intricate mix of heterogeneous structures which reach …

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are an evolutionarily significant advantage bestowed
by mothers for facilitating the development of the infant's gut microbiota. They can avoid …

During the first 3 years of life, the microbial ecosystem within the human gut undergoes a
process that is unlike what happens in this ecosystem at any other time of our life. This …
