Abstract

Immune-system maturation starts early in life, but studies investigating immune-system education in human infants remain scarce. In a recent issue of Cell, Henrick etal. study early gut microbiota and immune-system development in two infant cohorts. The authors describe that Bifidobacteria can use milk sugars to produce immunoregulatory compounds that induce immune tolerance and reduce intestinal inflammation.
