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 endemic of SARS-CoV-2 underscores the imperative to elucidate its effects on pregnancy, particularly regarding the potential for vertical transmission and its influence on the early maternal-fetal interface, which remain insufficiently defined. To address this, we performed an extensive cohor...
