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 …

The transition from breastmilk to solid foods (weaning) is a decisive stage for the
development of the colonic microbiota. However, little is known about how complementary …

We hypothesized that improving the fat globule structure of infant formulae based on the milk
fat globule membrane (MFGM) would regulate metabolites and metabolic pathways, making …

Aim: Microbial colonization of the neonatal gut is pivotal in priming the infant's immune
system. Human milk (HM) is the best nutrition for infants and supports the development of …

Human milk is the best nutrition for infants, providing optimal support for the developing
immune system and gut microbiota. Hence, it has been used as source for probiotic strain …

Infant formulas are often supplemented to foster the development of a healthy gut
microbiota. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Heppner et al. present an elaborate clinical …

Chemostat systems can be used to cultivate complex intestinal microbial communities ex
vivo. Here, we present a protocol to transfer bacteria from human fecal material into …

Host & Microbehas compared the development of the microbiota in breast-fed and formula-
fed infants. In the trial, 210 infants were randomly assigned to be breast-fed or to receive one …

The early gut microbiota development is tightly intertwined with infant immunological and
metabolic programming. Thus, disruptions in the colonisation process can have both …
