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.

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
