Human Milk Oligosaccharides
Gut Microbiota
60 min watch

In this symposium, leading experts explored the evolving role of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in childhood development and their benefits beyond immunity. The speakers discussed the key factors influencing HMO composition, the critical role of HMOs in shaping the infant gut microbiota, highlighting the complexity of HMO-microbiota interactions. The talks also focused on human milk-inspired biotics, such as synbiotics, in fostering a balanced gut microbiome, supporting growth, immune development, and offered insights into future research aimed at understanding the specific functions of HMOs in early-life gut health and optimizing developmental outcomes.
