Developmental Role of Three Systems - Co-development of Gut Microbiome, Respiratory and Immune Systems
Co-development of Gut Microbiome, Respiratory and Immune Systems Directly Impact Baby's Development
A new multidisciplinary study conducted by Kristin Scheible and Andrew McDavid, researchers at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ, has found that the co-development of three systems, the gut microbiome, respiratory system and immune system, is correlated with a baby's respiratory health, and an infant can have negative respiratory outcomes if the development of one of these systems is disrupted.
The study, was published in iScience (Cell Press) and was co-authored by Kristin Scheible, M.D., associate professor in the departments of Pediatrics and Microbiology and Immunology, and Andrew McDavid, Ph.D., from the department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology.
