Infant Immune System Trained by Key Gut Bacteria
Many diseases caused by a dysregulated immune system, such as allergies, asthma and autoimmunity, can be traced back to events in the first few months after birth, although the mechanisms were poorly understood. Now, researchers show a connection between breast milk, beneficial gut bacteria and the development of the immune system.
