Interesting study 👍

😧 scary!

Maybe more reasons to stick to cooking with unprocessed raw ingredients?

Our study on the dietary whey protein and its effect on gut phageome and bacteriome, protecting against Crohn’s disease, made to the cover of the journal Gut.

Our News & Views piece is out at Nature Metabolism. We discussed the role of gut virome in MASLD, particularly the importance of virome

New online! Post-antibiotics microbiome restoration driven by diet

It indeed has been drizzling on and off in the past few days…

A study of 981 colorectal cancers in 11 countries shows geographic & age-related variations in mutational processes & suggests that early-life mutagenic exposure to colibactin-producing bacteria may contribute to the rising incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer 🧪

I agree, AI should not be used as peer reviewer!

😱

Dietary whey protein protects against Crohn’s disease by orchestrating cross-kingdom interaction between the gut phageome and bacteriome Background The gut microbiome and diet are important factors in the pathogenesis and management of Crohn’s disease (CD). However, the role of the gut phageome under dietary influences is unknown. Obj...

Our study on how diet may regulate the gut phageome-bacteriome interaction relaying to a disease protection, #IBD, is freshly out at the journal #Gut

I like this

This is good news

✨ Here is a 🧵 about a wonderful paper by @cdiener.com et al. that shows how we can estimate diet from 💩 metagenomic sequencing data, published today! ✨

I’m really happy and grateful Christian included me in later stages of this project and that I could help out a little 😊

You are truly an admirable editor👍

It might have something to do with how conserved the presumed antigen(s) are between viruses, or it is because of the waning immunity or a decrease in immune memory…

Will DeepSeek save us form the smug tech broliarcy? No only a mass global insurrection against the dictatorship of capital with do that - in fact DeepSeek will make it cheaper and easier to put AI in everything, but at least we got to laugh at some of the worst people in the world briefly.

DEI is important but again it seems some leaders have limited awareness of science…

Microplastics block blood flow in the brain, mice study reveals Real-time imaging shows how plastic-stuffed cells form clumps that affect mouse movement.

Mouse experiments show that microplastics get gobbled up by immune cells that clog up blood vessels in the brain - “like a car crash” 🧪

This is figure 5, which shows the discovery of pantothenate as the key metabolite of B. vulgatus via untargeted and targeted metabolomics.

A paper in Nature Microbiology reports on a gut bacterium that may be associated with reduced dietary sugar intake. The findings could aid the development of therapies to manage obesity and metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. https://go.nature.com/3CiERgB 🧪

Maybe you don't really have a 'sweet tooth', it's just your gut #microbiome!

Reinventing type 2 immunity in cancer - Nature This Review addresses the roles of type 2 immunity in cancer and the potential for cancer immunotherapies targeting this pathway.

Type 2 immunity is thought of as a potential promoter of tumorigenesis. Emerging evidence challenges this perspective. Could it be harness to reimagine cancer immunotherapies?

What has bothered me substantially during the pandemic was that a lot of ppl were unaware of science and kept resistant to public health measures …

What Covid tried to teach us — and why it will matter in the next pandemic Five years after the start of Covid, we appear to be trying to teach ourselves the lessons of the pandemic the hard way.

Comes to a good conclusion that the potential impact of an influenza pandemic on children, might soften some people's resistance to public health measures.

2025 must be the year when the rules of global finance are reformed The current international financial architecture is a key reason that the UN Sustainable Development Goals are failing. A landmark conference in Spain must make progress in reforming it.
