Article Abstract

The gut microbiota is highly dynamic during the first year of life and plays a crucial role in immune development. Breastfeeding is known to support infant health, but the contributions of the numerous breastmilk components to gut microbiota and immune maturation remain unclear. Secretory IgA (SIgA), the most abundant antibody in human milk, is a key modulator of gut microbiota composition. We have shown previously that mouse milk SIgA protects against asthma by limiting segmented filamentous bacteria in mice. The present study uncovers a similar mechanism in humans. Using human milk from the CHILD Cohort Study, we define a relationship between human milk SIgA and infant gut microbiota composition. This leads to the identification of as a key player in immune development, which is controlled by milk SIgA. Cell culture modeling demonstrates that SIgA restricts the capacity of to adhere to the intestinal epithelium and to induce Th17 responses, which are implicated in allergic and other chronic diseases.

Background: Stress is a prevalent mental health concern that often emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood. Since 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any novel anxiolytic pharmaceuticals, leading to increased interest in nutritional supplements as alternative therapies for stress management.

Purpose: Building on our previous study, this work aims to investigate the synergistic effects of Theanine (Th) and Walnut Peptide (WP) on stress mitigation and cognitive enhancement.

An adequate choline intake is essential for infant health. Choline profiles in human milk, critical for setting adequate intake levels and developing infant formulas, varied markedly across studies. This study aimed to systematically review and analyze choline concentrations and compositions in human milk and explore influencing factors.

Systematic characterization of the molecular states of cells in livestock tissues is essential for understanding the cellular and genetic mechanisms underlying economically and ecologically important physiological traits. Here, as part of the Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) project, we describe a comprehensive reference map including 1,793,854 cells from 59 bovine tissues in calves and adult cattle, spanning both sexes, which reveals intra-tissue and inter-tissue cellular heterogeneity in gene expression, transcription factor regulation and intercellular communication. Integrative analysis with genetic variants that underpin bovine monogenic and complex traits uncovers cell types of relevance, such as spermatocytes, responsible for sperm motility and excitatory neurons for milk fat yield.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) play crucial roles in establishing a healthy gut microbiota in breastfed infants. Many studies have been conducted using samples collected in different areas with varying lifestyles to examine the relationships between milk HMO, infant gut microbiota, and microbial HMO consumption in feces. The present study analyzed the tripartite relationship using samples obtained from Mongolian mothers and infants living in herder and urban environments, a population underrepresented in previous research.

Isoxazoline drugs (ISOs) are a class of five-membered heterocyclic compounds containing N and O atoms. They can inhibit -aminobutyric acid gated chloride channels and are widely used in the treatment of parasitic diseases in poultry. The intake of animal-derived foods by humans is an important way to come into contact with ISOs.
