A recent publication co-authored by our founder, Brett Finlay, highlights the potential for gut microbes to mitigate the negative cognitive effects of malnutrition - possibly through polyunsaturated fatty acid pathways. Read more here: hubs.la/Q012jFNF0

Gut microbes shape microglia and cognitive function during malnutrition

Early-life malnutrition and specific gut microbes shape cognition and microglia in mice. Altered microglial features occur independently from significant neuroinflammation or BBB deficits, but were...

Dr. Brett Finlay (@FinlayLab), professor in the @ubcmsl and departments of biochemistry and molecular biology, and @UBCMicroImmuno, says we don’t have enough data yet to effectively modify the gut microbiome and personalize nutrition. via @WIRED wired.com/story/gut-health-p…

The Poop About Your Gut Health and Personalized Nutrition

Researchers are coming around to the idea that there isn't a one-size-fits-all diet. Some companies are going further to find out what fits you, specifically.

A new paper by our co-founder Dr. Brett Finlay @FinlayLab on bacterial-fungal interactions and their role in childhood asthma: hubs.la/H0NGkBK0

Bacterial–fungal interactions in the neonatal gut influence asthma outcomes later in life

Overgrowth of the yeast Pichia kudriavzevii within the neonatal gut microbiota increases allergic airway disease severity later in life and may be inhibited by short-chain fatty acids.
