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.

Gut Bacteria and Brain of the Baby: to link up the dynamic of gut colonization in preterms born at gestational age of 30-326/7 weeks and their psychomotor development at 2 years
Brain Development
Bellanger A., CHU Rennes/ INRA Rennes/ NUMECAN, France, 2018
Composition of the gut microbiota can influence brain development and maternal nutrition can influence both offspring microbiota and brain neurogenesis and later cognitive and behavior (eating, social, locomotor, exploratory) abilities. We hypothesize that gut microbiota of preterm babies is a determinant of their developmental trajectories.
