New Paper: Fecal Microbial Transplantation and Fiber Supplementation in Patients with Severe Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome
Congratulations to our Platform 3 Lead Dr. Karen Madsen on this recent publication! Abstract Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) from lean donors to patients with obesity has been associated with metabolic benefits, yet results so far have been inconsistent. In this study, we tested the application of daily fiber supplementation as an adjunct to FMT therapy […]
New Paper: Maternal Consumption of Artificially Sweetened Beverages During Pregnancy is Associated with Infant Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Modifications and Increased Infant Body Mass Index
Congratulations to our Platform 2 Co-Lead Dr. Marie-Claire Arrieta and our Platform 4 Lead Dr. Laura Sycuro on this recent publication! Studying 100 infants from the CHILD Cohort Study, the authors aim to understand the link observed between the rise in childhood obesity and sweetener consumption during pregnancy.

New Paper: Vitamin D Supplementation in Pregnancy and Early Infancy in Relation to Gut Microbiota Composition and C. difficile Colonization: Implications for Viral Respiratory Infections
Congratulations to our Platform 2 Lead Dr. Anita Kozyrskyj on this recent publication! Studying 1,157 mother-infant pairs of the CHILD Cohort, researchers unravel a possible link between vitamin D supplementation during early-life and protection against C. difficile infection. Vit-D supplementation was also observed to be associated with a lower level of a specific bacterium Megamonas. […]
New Paper: Effect of chicory inulin-type fructan–containing snack bars on the human gut microbiota in low dietary fiber consumers in a randomized crossover trial
This registered randomized crossover trial provides insights on whether the use of dietary supplements can fill-up the dietary fiber gap
New Paper: A Diversified Dietary Pattern Is Associated With a Balanced Gut Microbial Composition of Faecalibacterium and Escherichia/Shigella in Patients With Crohn’s Disease in Remission
Study the relationships between dietary intake and shifts in microbiota and their metabolites in Crohn’s Disease patients to help define a dietary pattern.
The impact of maternal and early life malnutrition on health: a diet-microbe perspective.
