Propionate primes the DC pump in neonates
Abstract
The protective benefits of breastmilk are well-appreciated, yet lack mechanistic detail. In this issue of Immunity, Sikder et al. reveal how breastmilk-microbiota-derived propionate induces Flt3L expression, dendritic cell maturation, regulatory T cell recruitment, and antiviral immunity in the lung.
