ABSTRACT Neural tube defects (NTDs) are severe birth defects linked to insufficient maternal folate status during early pregnancy. Red blood cell (RBC) folate concentration is the recommended biomarker for predicting NTD risk, with a threshold of 748 nmol/L using the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) microbiological assay. However, in

Perinatal Gut Dysbiosis Reduces Milk Oligosaccharides via LPS‐Mediated Gut–Mammary Signaling in Mice
Maternal gut dysbiosis elevates Gram‐negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which enters circulation and accumulates in mammary tissue. This compromises the blood–milk barrier and suppresses key enzymatic genes, ultimately reducing milk oligosaccharide synthesis and potentially affecting neonatal gut microbiota through breastfeeding.
