It's in the milk: Feeding the microbiome to promote infant growth

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Malnutrition is a global health burden affecting the development of millions of children worldwide, but the effects of current treatment strategies are modest. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Charbonneau et al. (2016) identify sialylated oligosaccharides in breast milk as microbiota-dependent growth-promoting metabolites, paving the way for a new rational treatment of severe infant stunting.
