Role of the Microbiome in Infant Development
Alterations in the human microbiota have been linked to a wide range of disorders, from viral and bacterial infections to metabolic disorders like obesity and diabetes, and from inflammatory and autoimmune diseases to neurodevelopmental issues like depression and autism. Simplifying the process of how bacteria in the gut can affect the brain and other systems of the body, science writer Stephen...
متن کاملDevelopment of the preterm infant gut microbiome: a research priority
The very low birth weight (VLBW) infant is at great risk for marked dysbiosis of the gut microbiome due to multiple factors, including physiological immaturity and prenatal/postnatal influences that disrupt the development of a normal gut flora. However, little is known about the developmental succession of the microbiota in preterm infants as they grow and mature. This review provides a synthe...
متن کاملDaughter’s Tolerance of Mom Matters in Mate Choice
Mendelian genetics presumes inheritance of fitness through DNA. Kinder et al. find that maternal microchimerism induces stable immune tolerance to non-inherited maternal antigens in offspring. Female offspring that share these antigens with their mate experience reduced fetal wasting, establishing a role for vertical transmission of non-genetic information in reproductive fitness.
متن کاملEpigenetic Matters: The Link between Early Nutrition, Microbiome, and Long-term Health Development
Epigenetic modifications are among the most important mechanisms by which environmental factors can influence early cellular differentiation and create new phenotypic traits during pregnancy and within the neonatal period without altering the deoxyribonucleic acid sequence. A number of antenatal and postnatal factors, such as maternal and neonatal nutrition, pollutant exposure, and the composit...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Enhanced Metaproteomic Approach for Deepening the Microbiome Characterization of the Human Infant Gut
The establishment of early life microbiota in the human infant gut is highly variable and plays a crucial role in host nutrient availability/uptake and maturation of immunity. Although high-performance mass spectrometry (MS)-based metaproteomics is a powerful method for the functional characterization of complex microbial communities, the acquisition of comprehensive metaproteomic information i...
