Preeclampsia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women, affecting 5-8% of gestations worldwide. Its development is influenced by maternal immune abnormalities, metabolic disorders and gut dysbiosis. In this study, we show that gut dysbiosis in pregnant C57BL/6J dams leads to...
The human gut microbiome establishes and matures during infancy, and dysregulation at this stage may lead to pathologies later in life. We conducted a multi-omics study comprising three generations of family members to investigate the early development of the gut microbiota. Fecal samples from 20...
Maternal seeding of the microbiome in neonates promotes a long-lasting biological footprint, but how it impacts disease susceptibility in early life remains unknown. We hypothesized that feeding butyrate to pregnant mice influences the newborn’s susceptibility to biliary atresia, a severe cholang...
The metabolic regulations during pregnancy are precisely programmed, even small deviations can bring devastating consequences. Here, we constructed a comprehensive view of the metabolome trajectories throughout pregnancy in 9,687 plasma samples from 3,339 pregnant women, including 2,348 naturally...
