Mom’s diet matters: Maternal prebiotic intake in mice reduces anxiety and alters brain gene expression and the fecal microbiome in offspring by Hebert, JC, Radford-Smith, DE, Probert, F, Ilott, N, Chan, KW, Anthony, DC, Burnet, PWJ

“…Compelling evidence links enteric microbes to brain function and behavior. Galacto-oligosaccharide prebiotics have been shown to modulate the composition of gut flora and induce metabolic, neurochemical, and behavioral changes in adult rodents. …”

Killer T cells show their kinder side by Klenerman, P, Ogg, GS

“…It must respond rapidly to dangerous microorganisms that threaten the host, yet also coexist peacefully with the large array of microorganisms that colonize barrier surfaces such as those of the skin and gut. Writing in Cell, Linehan et al. examine the interactions between immune cells and a bacterium that normally resides on the skin, and identify a signalling pathway that governs the immune response to such microbes.…”

Exploring the genomic diversity and antimicrobial susceptibility of Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum in a Vietnamese population by Chung The, H, Nguyen Ngoc Minh, C, Tran Thi Hong, C, Nguyen Thi Nguyen, T, Pike, LJ, Zellmer, C, Pham Duc, T, Tran, T-A, Ha Thanh, T, Van, MP, Thwaites, GE, Rabaa, MA, Hall, LJ, Baker, S
