Microbiota shapes neonatal gut disease tolerance
The commensal microbiota colonization of the neonatal gut can be greatly influenced by feeding practices like breastfeeding and formula-feeding, which then affects intestinal immunity and disease tolerance in neonates. However, insights into regulation of this symbiotic relationship remain largely unknown. In this project, we explored the effects of different feeding practices on neonatal gut microbiota and intestinal gene expression profiles.
