Abstract

Despite extensive global health efforts, maternal and child undernutrition continue to account for substantial morbidity and mortality in low-income and middle-income countries [1]. This includes a high rate of mortality for children hospitalized with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), and lasting effects upon cognition in those with chronic undernutrition and stunting. Efforts focused upon improved nutrition and sanitation early in life have yielded only partial benefits, suggesting a critical knowledge gap in our understanding of underlying mechanisms [1].
