Excited to share our latest work out now in PNAS! Using @CHILDSTUDY human milk samples, we uncover a new link between maternal IgA, infant gut microbiota composition, and immune development. @FinlayLab @MeghanAzad @TurveyLab 🔗 pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna…

Human milk IgA promotes normal immune development by limiting Th17-inducing Erysipelatoclostridium...

The gut microbiota is highly dynamic during the first year of life and plays a crucial role in immune development. Breastfeeding is known to suppor...

New research from the @Finlaylab has shown how breast milk might protect against the development of asthma in infants, and it’s thanks to effects on the #microbiome🦠. Learn more about the study, led by PhD candidate @Kate_Donald_, at: msl.ubc.ca/antibody-in-breas…

Excited to share our latest work published in @CellReports! We found that SIgA in maternal milk promotes immune development and protects against a mouse model of asthma by targeting and limiting SFB in the mouse gut. @UBCMicroImmuno @ubcmsl @FinlayLab
