Extremely premature infants are a highly vulnerable patient group that might be exposed to a vast number of dietary and environmental contaminants, which may impact their health trajectories. This study assessed xenobiotic exposures in 26 extremely premature infants, with a special focus on dieta...
The gut microbiome has been associated with pathological neurophysiological evolvement in extremely premature infants suffering from brain injury. The exact underlying mechanism and its associated metabolic signatures in infants are not fully understood. To decipher metab...
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may prevent retinal vascular abnormalities observed in oxygen-induced retinopathy, a model of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In the OmegaROP prospective cohort study, we showed that preterm infants who will develop ROP accumulate the n-6 PUFA arachidonic...
The coordinated postnatal development of the gut microbiome and metabolome is essential for preterm infant health, yet its disruption is increasingly linked to adverse outcomes such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). In this study, we performed an integrated multi-omics analysis of fecal sample...
