Baby’s first gut bacteria come from mum’s mouth


Babies in the womb are not as shielded from the outside world but the placenta wharves a unique ecosystem of bacteria which may have a surprising source – the mother’s mouth. Disturbances of the placenta’s bacterial community may explain why some women give birth prematurely, and could also be one of the ways that a woman’s diet affects her offspring’s gut bacteria, and as a result the child’s disease risk. Various nutrients [in the mother’s diet] are a huge determining factor of which microbes take up abode in the placenta. 
A broad range of bacteria are present comprising those compulsory for metabolizing some of the vitamins and nutrients needed by the fetus. The first surprise was that the bacterial species were most similar to those normally found in the adult mouth, as contrasting to gut. The fact that the bacterial community found in the mouth suggests that these bacteria reach the baby either by crossing into the baby’s blood vessels within the placenta or by passing into amniotic fluid, which is swallowed by the baby. Giving pregnant animals a high-fat diet alters their offspring’s micro biome. Many previous studies have shown that a person’s risk of obesity and heart disease is affected by their mother’s diet, but it was thought this was passed on through epigenetic mechanisms – chemical changes that switch the offspring’s genes on or off.

17th International Conference on Gastroenterology and Hepatology, slated to be held on September 03-04 at Dubai, UAE, establishes a mutual interaction and cooperation with scientific researchers in the area of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, colonoscopy, Bariatric Surgery, Endoscopy, alimentary canal ailments and Gastrointestinal Surgery.

A healthy gut : better recovery from spinal cord injury

Image
Our gut microbiota communicates with the central nervous system (CNS) by collaboration with immune cells and discharging metabolites that pass through the blood-brain barrier. Most (~70-80 percent) immune cells within the body are found inside gut-associated lymphoid tissues . The influence of our gut microbes is far-reaching. From boosting the adequacy of chemotherapy to influencing obesity risk in youth, the gut microbiome is unimaginably important for our body's overall health. In addition to the more obvious impacts of traumatic spinal line injuries, the researchers say they have auxiliary impacts, counting loss of bowel control, which can cause disturbance to the gut microbiome. Named "dysbiosis," this disruption happens when "good" bacteria are drained or invade by "bad" bacteria within the gut. Previously, autoimmune illnesses - such as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes - have been connected to dysbiosis, and the researchers say i

World Breast-Feeding Week 2018: Breast-feeding's Role in 'Seeding' Infant Microbiome

Image
Breast milk is pressed with brain-boosting essential fatty acids, bodybuilding vitamins and minerals, hormones, development components, and a plenty of proteins and carbohydrates for fast advancement but too contains a wealth of immunological components that work both to secure the child from harmful viruses and bacteria and to balance and create your baby’s immune system. In spite of the fact that they all work in numerous ways (a few are anti-inflammatory while others are antimicrobial) numerous components combine to create breast milk an immune-boosting, a baby-friendly cocktail of immunoglobulins (like SIgA), cytokines, lactoferrin, proteins (like lysozyme), leukocytes, probiotics , and prebiotics. When mother or child (or both) is suffering from an illness, infection-fighting cells called leukocytes in her milk spike from comprising fair 2 percent of total cells in times of health to a whopping 94 percent amid sickness, which deciphers to baby’s everyday ingestion of bill

HOX genes: Role in colon cancer development

Image
Colon cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in not only the United States, but all over the globe. Conventional research over the last 50 years has shown that tumors undergo a series of genetic mutations that lead to the unchecked growth of tumors and their progression to metastatic cancer. Traditional therapies designed to kill the bulk of cancer tumor cells continue to fall short of a cure for advanced, drug-resistant colon cancers. Over-expression of HOXA4 and HOXA9 genes in colon cancer stem cells promotes cell replication and contributes to the overpopulation of stem cells that drives colon cancer development. The findings suggest treatment with vitamin A derivatives, called retinoid drugs, could provide a therapeutic strategy for decreasing the expression of these HOX genes and for targeting highly resistant cancer stem cells. These long-lived, uncommon cells start out as tissue stem cells that become cancer stem cells when certain mutations or mistakes occur
