2′-fucosyllactose inhibits imiquimod-induced psoriasis in mice by regulating Th17 cell response via the STAT3 signaling pathway
Immunity & Allergy
Lei K. et al. (2020)
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory cutaneous disorder with Th17 cells and Th17-related cytokines playing an important role in its development. 2′-fucosyllactose, which makes up about 30% of all HMOs in blood type secretor positive maternal milk, plays an essential role in supporting aspects of immune development and regulation.

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.
