The gut microbiota is a promising target to suppress food allergies through acting via regulatory T cells. New research in mice shed light on mechanisms by which early-life gut microbiota exerts a protective effect against IgE-mediated food allergies.

The way intestinal immune cells distinguish innocuous dietary antigens and gut bacteria from pathogenic microbes and mount an appropriate response to each is unknown. New research unravels how intestinal bacteria may protect against cow’s milk allergy by regulating host immunity in mice.
Gut microbiota is the human body's most complex, diverse and numerous ecosystem of all, particularly in the caecum, where the density of microorganisms is the highest.

GMFH continue to cover the important progress made in our knowledge of the gut microbiota's impact on wellbeing and disease.
Exposure to viral and bacterial infections early in life, especially in the setting of certain genetic predispositions, may increase an individual’s risk for developing food sensitivities.

A new study has shown that human IgA deficiency is not associated with extensive perturbations of gut commensal communities.

A study has found that an elevated Klebsiella/Bifidobacterium (K/B) ratio could be used as a potential gut microbiota biomarker.
A scientific committee chaired has taken care to put together a program that covers the most relevant issues in the field today.

A new study by a group of scientists from Danone Nutricia Research (the Netherlands), the Laboratory of Microbiology at Wageningen University (the Netherlands), and the Department of Medicine at Imperial College London (United Kingdom) explored how the gut microbiota tracks eczema development in early life—and also whether gut microbiota composition was modulated by a prebiotic early-life dietary intervention.
