Mommy’s microbes: Gestational diabetes mellitus shapes the maternal and infant gut microbiome

Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Jul 10;32(7):1048-1049. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.06.007.

ABSTRACT

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with increased risk of metabolic and neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Wang et al. provide evidence that changes in the gut microbiome of mothers with GDM may lead to dysbiosis in their infants and altered development in a sex-dependent manner.
