Probiotics maintain intestinal secretory immunoglobulin A levels in healthy formula-fed infants: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Biotics & Microbiome Health
L. Xiao et al. (2019)
As timely probiotic administration was suggested to promote immune system development in formula-fed infants, this study aimed at assessing the safety and the effects of a probiotic supplement on mucosal immune competence and digestive function in formula-fed infants.
Precision Nutrition and the Microbiome, Part I: Current State of the Science
Biotics & Microbiome Health
S. Mills et al. (2019)
The gut microbiota is a highly complex community which evolves and adapts to its host over a lifetime. It has been described as a virtual organ owing to the myriad of functions it performs, including the production of bioactive metabolites, regulation of immunity, energy homeostasis and protection against pathogens.

PREMIPLA project : the effect of antenatal Prebiotics supplementation on Microbiota in Placenta in the context of allergy prevention
Immunity & Allergy
Bodinier M., INRA, France, 2019
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is the earliest and the most common manifestation of allergies. Recent studies have shown that allergies were associated with a disruption of the gut microbial ‘balance’ suggesting that the use of nutritional intervention very early in life may restore an optimal pattern of microflora aiming at improving the host’s health.

Immunity & Allergy
Schwab C. et al, ETH Zürich, Kispi Zurich, Ostschweizer Kinderspital, Switzerland, 2018
Gut microbiota development is impacted by mode of delivery, diet, lifestyle and environmental parameters such as closeness to animals. These parameters impact gut microbiota composition and have been linked to allergy protective effects (‘Microbiota hypothesis’).
