Where this comes from

Abstract

The role of the microbiome across a range of physiological process is undebatable, but how this complex community is assembled and regulated remains only partially understood. Recent studies focused on a single sensor show that the neonatal period may represent a critical window and that immune interactions at this time could durably influence the members of the microbiome.
