Baby's immunity is good or not, the mother's intestinal microbes are the key!
Have you been to the park recently? The winter has finally passed, and the weather has warmed up and the outdoor flowers are in full bloom. But for people with pollen allergies, it may not sound great.
Spring is a season of high incidence of allergies. Speaking of allergies, we may all know that this is an immune system disease, and the immune system is the "dam" of the human body, we can hardly get sick and recover without it.
Scientists have long believed that our own gut microbes shape our immune system bit by bit from birth. But a recent article in the journal science takes issue with this conventional wisdom. The scientists, from the University of Bern in Switzerland, found that when a mother mouse was given bacteria in her gut, it had an effect on the innate immune system of newborn mice.
This experiment chooses the bacteria that everyone is familiar with - E. coli, the difference is that the researchers give it magical "disappear automatically function". After being implanted in mother mouse intestines, E. coli will gradually reduce and disappear before the birth of their offspring mice, so it can ensure the offspring mice was born is aseptic condition, the corresponding control group is always maintain asepsis mother mouse production in mice. After comparing them, the researchers found that the mice in the experimental group had more congenital lymphocytes and monocytes in their intestines, which are potent killers of the innate immune system.
