title: It's in the Milk: Feeding the Microbiome to Promote Infant Growth.
abstract: Malnutrition is a global health burden affecting the development of millions of children worldwide, but the effects of current treatment strategies are modest. Charbonneau et al. (2016) identify sialylated oligosaccharides in breast milk as microbiota-dependent growth-promoting metabolites, paving the way for a new rational treatment of severe infant stunting.
