Microbiota, diet, and the gut–brain axis in multiple sclerosis and stroke
Brain Development
L. Diaz-Marugan et al. 2023
Intestinalmicrobiota can influence the phenotype and function of immune cell responses through the dissemination of bacterial antigens or metabolites. Diet is one of the major forces shaping the microbiota composition and metabolism, contributing to host homeostasis and disease susceptibility.
Neurodevelopment, nutrition, and growth until 12 mo of age in infants fed a low-energy, low-protein formula supplemented with bovine milk fat globule membranes: a randomized controlled trial
Brain Development
N. Timby (2014)
Observational studies have indicated that differences in the composition of human milk and infant formula yield benefits in cognitive development and early growth for breastfed infants.

Funded projects
Exploring perinatal factors on vertical microbiota transmission : modulation of early life gut microbiota to prevent long-term effects
Immunity & Allergy
Langella P., Micalis Institute, INRA, France, 2019
The project target C-section delivered newborns. It will analyse the role of microbiota in the higher risk of this population to Allergy and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), mainly Crohn Disease (CD), using murine models and define new preventive strategies based on microbiota modulation by nutritional approaches (mainly probiotics).

The role of microbiota in brain homeostasis during adulthood and early life
Brain Development
Ronchi F., Department of Biomedical research, University of Bern, Switzerland, 2019
This project will help to understand the basic mechanisms leading to learning and memory functions and this will pave the way for new discoveries to treat human populations affected by chronic neurological memory/cognitive disorders.
