Cell Journal: Gut Bacteria Affect Brain Development

Complex interaction: the gut-immune-brain axis

The early development of the intestines, brain and immune system are closely related

Patterns of the microbiome provide clues to brain damage

"In fact, we have been able to identify certain patterns in the microbiome and immune response, which are clearly related to the progression and severity of brain damage," added David Berry, who is the Center for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science at the University of Vienna (CMESS) the head of the research team and the business director of the joint microbiome facility between the Medical University of Vienna and the University of Vienna

A comprehensive study of the development of extremely premature infants

The starting point for the development of appropriate therapies is provided by biomarkers that can be identified by an interdisciplinary team

The study will continue with two studies

This research is an inter-university cluster project jointly led by Angelika Berger (Vienna University of Medical Sciences) and David Berry (University of Vienna).
