This study characterizes maternal and pup microbial colonization dynamics in puppies, showing body-site specific contributions from maternal reservoirs and early maturation of oral and rectal microbiomes.

This study shows that antibiotic exposure during Drosophila oogenesis disrupts offspring locomotion and metabolism via L-norvaline, linking microbiome disruption to intergenerational reprogramming.

This study identifies significant shifts in the oral microbiome during early pregnancy, showing reduced diversity and a shift toward pro-inflammatory communities, with strong associations with diet and lifestyle factors.

The paper shows that microbial metabolites in fetal intestines are maternally derived and may regulate fetal immunity and prepare the gut for postnatal microbes.

The paper identifies increased Bacteroides in an ASD cohort and shows sex-dependent behavioral effects in mice.
