• Host–microbiome intestinal interactions during early life: considerations for atopy and asthma development 

      Pettersen, Veronika Kucharova; Arrieta, Marie-Claire (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04)
      <p>Purpose of review: The body's largest microbial community, the gut microbiome, is in contact with mucosal surfaces populated with epithelial, immune, endocrine and nerve cells, all of which sense and respond to microbial signals. These mutual interactions have led to a functional coevolution between the microbes and human physiology. Examples of coadaptation are anaerobes Bifidobacteria and ...
    • Intestinal fungi are causally implicated in microbiome assembly and immune development in mice

      The gut microbiome consists of a multi-kingdom microbial community. Whilst the role of bacteria as causal contributors governing host physiological development is well established, the role of fungi remains to be determined. Here, we use germ-free mice colonized with defined species of bacteria, fungi, or both to differentiate the causal role of fungi on microbiome assembly, immune development, ...
