Human milk oligosaccharides: Shaping the infant gut microbiota and supporting health
Biotics & Microbiome Health
Walsh C et al. (2020)
Recent research has highlighted that HMOs have various functional roles to play in infant development. These sugars act as prebiotics by promoting growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria thereby generating short-chain fatty acids which are critical for gut health.
Comparative Structural and Compositional Analyses of Cow, Buffalo, Goat and Sheep Cream
Mother & Child Health & Nutrition
V. Felice et al. (2021)
Factors affecting milk and milk fraction composition, such as cream, are poorly understood, with most research and human health application associated with cow cream. In this study, proteomic and lipidomic analyses were performed on cow, goat, sheep and Bubalus bubalis, bulk milk cream samples.

Transmission of obesity from mother to child through microbiota transfer and impact on feeding behavior
Mother & Child Health and Nutrition
Parnet P., INRA, France, 2018
Studies suggest that obesity could be ‘transmitted’ from mother to child. Since maternal microbiota is the main determinant of child intestine colonization, the transmission of a maternal microbiota "signature" of obesity to her child during perinatal period, could potentially affect his metabolism.

Early gut microbiota signatures of diseases
Biotics & Microbiome Health
Butel M.-J., INSERM, France, 2018
Early gut microbiota establishment is suggested to be an important factor for the health of the infant and future adult. In this context, we propose to identify early intestinal microbiota signatures or predictive microbiota profiles in children of the occurrence of overweight and obesity.
