Roller coaster of fantastic articles today! Two sister articles from TEDDY cohort about development of the gut microbiota in early childhood and type-1 diabetes. Another article on association of the early gut microbiota with body mass index later in life in a Norwegian cohort. A multi-omics study of the rumen microbiota and insight into how human gut microbiota recovers following antibiotic exposure. And many more, keep reading…
