17. Immune maturation and lymphocyte characteristics in relation to early gut bacteria exposure
Abstract : At birth, the immune system is immature and the gut microbiota influences immune maturation. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and lactobacilli are part of the neonatal gut microbiota and have seemingly opposite effects on the immune system. S. READ MORE

20. Immune profile from high-risk to onset of Type 1 diabetes
Abstract : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is most often diagnosed early in life and is usually the result of an autoimmune attack on the insulin producing β-cells of the pancreas, leading to a lack of insulin secretion and life-long insulin treatment. The search for possible targets pin-pointing the β-cell destruction is a constant endeavour in the pursuit to prevent T1D onset. READ MORE
