New results from the microbiome group on infant airway microbiome and asthma!
📣New results on the role of the infant airway microbiota in childhood asthma! We went back to where it all began - the COPSAC2000 cohort - and sequenced 285 samples from 1-year olds 👶, which had hung out in the biobank for 20 years!❄️ Read more: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-4…

In a new study we found that high levels of 25(OH)D in early childhood were associated with a reduced risk of AD, allergy, asthma exacerbations and infections. Our findings suggest vitamin D as an important micronutrient in early childhood. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Looks like phage diversity is higher in babies than adults. Why? Check out the story behind the paper. It's a four-minute read. microbiologycommunity.nature… @COPSAC_com @JPI_HDHL @NatureMicrobiol #phage #CRISPR #virome @cristinalero @smoineau @stokholm_jakob @GormAnders @microUCPH

Replying to @TCrispr
@TCrispr lays out his brilliant paper on phages in childrens gut. I remember once thinking "Wow, we identified a handful of new viral families!". Shiraz and the rest of this group just found 100 new ones 🤯 Check out the brilliant online overview 👇 tiny.cc/aq76vz

Happy and proud to share our new results - a massive expansion of viral diversity from the guts of infants, out now in @NatureMicrobiol This is the result of years of exciting work on both sides of the Atlantic funded by @JPI_HDHL: The EarlyVir consortium! nature.com/articles/s41564-0…
