Antibiotic Exposure Through Human Milk Influences the Infant Gut Microbiome

This study examines how maternal antibiotic use during breastfeeding affects the infant gut microbiome and metabolome, finding altered microbial profiles and increased BMI in some infants.

Expansion of mammary intraepithelial lymphocytes and intestinal inputs shape T cell dynamics in lactogenesis

The paper examines T cell changes in mammary glands during pregnancy and lactation, finding an expansion of T effector cells and similarities to intestinal T cells.

Scalable, high quality, whole genome sequencing from archived, newborn, dried blood spots

This study demonstrates that high-quality whole genome sequencing can be achieved from archived dried blood spots without PCR amplification, suitable for population genomic studies.

Maternal Circulating MiRNAs That Predict Infant FASD Outcomes Influence Placental Maturation

The paper identifies maternal circulating miRNAs that predict infant FASD outcomes and show they impair placental development by inhibiting the EMT pathway in trophoblasts.
