Gut microbiota maturation during early human life induces enterocyte proliferation via microbial metabolites

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background The intestinal tract undergoes a period of cellular maturation during early life, primarily characterized by the organization of epithelial cells into specialized crypt and villus structures. These processes are in part mediated by the acquisition of microbes. Infants delivered at term typically harbor a stable, low diversity microbiota characterized by an overrepresentation of various Bacilli...
