- New research challenges the hygiene hypothesis of allergy, suggesting that early exposure to microbes may not fully protect against allergies. The study tested allergy-like responses in mice raised in sterile vs. "dirty" environments. Both groups has similar immune responses. https://www.technologynetworks.com/immunology/news/hygiene-hypothesis-study-suggests-more-microbes-might-not-be-the-answer-to-allergies-379416 12 comments science
- Keeping livestock in the yard just might help baby’s immune system. Study included fecal transplants from Amish and non-Amish infants into newborn piglets (n=10) and found new details about how healthier (Amish) gut microbiomes boost immune development. Hygiene hypothesis at play, researchers say. https://news.osu.edu/keeping-livestock-in-the-yard-just-might-help-your-babys-immune-system/ 103 comments science
- A new study in infant gut microbiome supports the hygiene hypothesis: infants in the western countries have limited exposure to various microorganisms which has implications in the development of their immune system. This makes them prone to autoimmune diseases (e.g. type 1 diabetes) and allergies. https://www.broadinstitute.org/news/8131 531 comments science
