De @lc_nl vroeg of ik ervaring over @LifelinesNL wilde delen in krant! Graag, top- project: via LL bleek in 2022 aangeboren hartafwijking en nog voor er ooit gevaar was werd het via hartoperatie opgelost. Dankzij Lifelines! Dus indien mogelijk: doe mee! lc.nl/regio/friesland/leeuwa…

A new @LifelinesNL study of 700+ mother-infant pairs maps dynamics and establishment of the gut virome. Key finding: maternal sharing & early viral diversity are linked to infant immune health and food allergies. Reactomics can now help us unlock how the host response in health and disease. doi.org/10.64898/2026.03.05.…
