02 Sep 2021 --- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded a nutritional scientist a US$1.69 million grant to investigate how beneficial microbes in the gut use nitrogen in human milk to support pediatric nutrition and development. The new experiments may also yield molecular targets to improve nitrogen metabolism efficiency through the microbiome in infants, and possibly adults. With sufficient evidence, this could support grounds to develop new probiotic supplements for maternal and infant nutrition.
