Whether the human fetus and the prenatal intrauterine environment (amniotic fluid and
placenta) are stably colonized by microbial communities in a healthy pregnancy remains a …

Associations between age and the human microbiota are robust and reproducible. The
microbial composition at several body sites can predict human chronological age relatively …

Breastfeeding profoundly shapes the infant gut microbiota, which is critical for early life
immune development, and the gut microbiota can impact host physiology in various ways …

The human microbiota has a fundamental role in host physiology and pathology. Gut
microbial alteration, also known as dysbiosis, is a condition associated not only with …

The interplay between the commensal microbiota and the mammalian immune system
development and function includes multifold interactions in homeostasis and disease. The …

The gut microbiota influences development,–and homeostasis,,–of the mammalian immune
system, and is associated with human inflammatory and immune diseases, as well as …

In recent years, the importance of the gut microbiota in human health has been revealed and
many publications have highlighted its role as a key component of human physiology …

Alterations in the gut microbiota composition have been associated with a range of
neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and neuropsychiatric disorders. The gut microbes …

Prenatal and early postnatal life represent key periods of immune system development. In
addition to genetics and host biology, environment has a large and irreversible role in the …

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid from dietary proteins. It can be metabolized into
