As a Ph.D. student, I felt unprepared to mentorβ€”but I’m glad I took the leap β€œI could help even when I did not have a solution,” this scientist learned

'What mattered, I realized, was not to be some imaginary perfect mentor with all the answers, but to get to know my mentee, including her hopes and ambitions, and offer whatever guidance and support I could based on my own experiences.'

Unlocking spatial metabolomics with isotopically labelled internal standards Nature Metabolism, Published online: 05 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01341-7We present a cost-effective normalization strategy for spatial metabolomics using uniformly 13C-labelled yeast extract, which addresses limitations of conventional methods and the physico-chemical complexity of water-soluble metabolites. Our approach outperforms standard normalization strategies and reveals hitherto unrecognized metabolic remodelling in the cortex after stroke, demonstrating its applicability.

A dysbiotic microbiome triggers TH17 cells to mediate oral mucosal immunopathology in mice and humans Combined patient and animal model studies implicate microbiota-triggered TH17 cells as disease drivers and therapeutic targets in periodontitis.

Would be interesting to see if this variant decreases susceptibility to periodontitis as well! check out this one ! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... A dysbiotic microbiome triggers TH17 cells to mediate oral mucosal immunopathology in mice and humans | Science Translational Medicine

Excited to share a new chapter:
As of July 1st, I’ve joined @ki.se as an Assistant Professor and #NewPI!

The Monasterio Lab is officially up and running β€” we’ll study physiological circuits driving #salivaryglands and #GItract communication in health and disease.

Stay tuned for the science ahead!

A close-up of the star RIK 113, seen here surrounded by a cloud of gas and dust called a protoplanetary disc. These discs are a common feature around young stars, containing all the building blocks needed to make a new planet. Over time, these dusty discs will fragment and condense under the influence of gravity, forming larger objects like protoplanets. These planetary embryos carve out gaps in the dust around them, forming the intricate, ring-like structures that we can see in this disc.

When and how did our β€œtwo-hole” digestive tube first appear in evolution? Such a fascinating question, recently tackled in this preprint!

β€œOur results suggest that the bilaterian anus evolved from a male gonopore that came in contact with the digestive endoderm to form the posterior opening.” πŸ§ͺ
