We investigate the (patho)physiology of respiratory infections & inflammation from an ecological perspective aiming to improve treatment and preventive measures
Despite advances in care, respiratory infections remain a leading cause of death in children under 5. A new review discusses the role of the lung and gut microbiota in their prevention, treatment, and recovery: https://t.co/lDtaPQLeYI @JotEm321@DebbyBogaert@immunology
Our newest review paper "Early Life Microbiota and Respiratory Tract Infections" is now out in @cellhostmicrobe special issue!
What makes a healthy #microbiome and how can it protect us from #respiratory illness in early life and beyond?
