Study Reveals Role of Neonatal Gut Bacteria in Serotonin Production and Immune Tolerance

A recent study in Science Immunology reveals the role of neonatal gut bacteria in producing serotonin and promoting immune tolerance. The study emphasizes the significance of early bacterial colonization in children with conditions such as asthma and food allergies. Understanding the impact of neonatal gut bacteria on serotonin production is crucial for comprehending immune tolerance development and addressing related conditions.
