What’s normal? Oligosaccharide concentrations and profiles in milk produced by healthy women vary geographically

TLDR
The hypothesis that normal HMO concentrations and profiles vary geographically, even in healthy women is supported and targeted genomic analyses are required to determine whether these differences are due at least in part to genetic variation.

Prebiotics and Human Milk Oligosaccharides

TL;DR: Current understanding of prebiotics and human milk oligosaccharides is reviewed to determine whether these structures and function relevant in specific disease states are still unclear.

Microbiomes and Childhood Malnutrition: What Is the Evidence?

TL;DR: There is growing evidence of a bidirectional association between variation in the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome and risk of/resilience to malnutrition during early life as discussed by the authors, and the putative impact of GI microbiomes on malnutrition is likely modified by a variety of important variables such as genetics, environmental pathogen exposure and its timing, dietary factors, and cultural/societal pattern (e.g., use of antibiotics).

Prebiotic components of breast milk and the possibility of repeating their effects in infant formulas

TL;DR: The role of prebiotics in breast milk and infant formula is described for the formation and maintenance of a healthy baby intestinal microbiota, which is a key element in the formation of normal digestion, a functionally sound immune system and metabolism.

Determining the metabolic fate of human milk oligosaccharides: It may just be more complex than you think?

TL;DR: Results indicated that, compared with the breastfed reference group, the HMO-containing formula stimulated increases in Bifidobacterium, albeit to a lower degree than the reference breastfed group, and help to explain the large variability in the presence and levels of HMOs detected in the faecal samples of infants.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Metagenes and molecular pattern discovery using matrix factorization.

TL;DR: Nonnegative matrix factorization is described, an algorithm based on decomposition by parts that can reduce the dimension of expression data from thousands of genes to a handful of metagenes, and found less sensitive to a priori selection of genes or initial conditions and able to detect alternative or context-dependent patterns of gene expression in complex biological systems.
