Some mice have microbes in their guts that motivate them to exercise more, a recent study led by Christoph Thaiss shows. Scientists are asking whether the same might be true for humans. National Geographic spr.ly/6010OBSuO

Interesting! New research in nature highlights meningitis & how bacteria invade the brain Bacteria hijack a critical (often overlooked) key interaction between Nervous System (i.e. brain and nerve cells) + Immune System "neuroimmune hijacking" 1/ nature.com/articles/s4158…

The gut microbiome might affect motivation to exercise, suggests a recent study published in nature. Led by Christoph Thaiss, researchers found that microbiomes play a role in how much mice run and how quickly they grow fatigued. spr.ly/6010OHGg8

Read this #preprint on Research Square: Sphingomyelin d18:1/14:0 activates TLR4 in metaflammation researchsquare.com/article/rs-279… Happy to share our preprint! Grateful for this joint effort, linking endogenous TLR4 activation with metaflammation 🔥

We are excited to share our new study Cell with @MaayanLevy_Lab, led by Kai Markus Schneider, Niklas Blank, and Yelina Alvarez, MD/PhD, uncovering a brain-gut pathway by which psychological stress exacerbates intestinal inflammation. (1/10) cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Interesting for those suffering from IBS etc. Cell Press nature Chronic stress can inflame the gut — now scientists know why nature.com/articles/d4158…

In our new study Cell, performed in collaboration with @MaayanLevy_Lab, Sara Cherry, and Ben Abramoff, we identify a pathway linking viral RNA, persistent inflammation, serotonin reduction, vagus nerve dysfunction, and neurocognitive symptoms in #LongCOVID.

Writing is an absolutely critical skill… and one that can be improved dramatically. Doing so requires not just repetitions, but deliberate efforts to improve. Some tips here: docs.google.com/document/d/1jB…

Excited to share our paper on mouse DRG genetic toolkit that reveals morphological and physiological diversity of somatosensory neuron subtypes. Thanks to all the co-authors! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Happy that the final version of the SpatialData paper is out 😊🎉 Thanks to all the authors, collaborators and community of users! A new release is coming out next week (pre-release out today) 🤓 I will give a technical update here on Twitter, stay tuned!

Our paper "Temporal dynamics of the multi-omic response to endurance exercise training" was just published in nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… This extensive resource on the molecular map of the cross-tissue response to exercise is the result of a massive team effort! 1/

What if you could find out the history of signaling activity in each cell with a single round of imaging? Wouldn't that be incredible? Well, we thought so too. And that's what we set out to achieve with INSCRIBE in our new preprint. Let’s dive in! 🚀🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

These results reveal the molecularly diverse sympathetic system and suggest modular regulation of visceral organ functions by sympathetic populations. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Forget about GLP-1R agonists. Time to move to Boston. New data in Nature Metabolism shows that 1 hour of cold exposure with shivering for 10 consecutive days improves glucose tolerance and other metabolic health outcomes in humans with overweight or obesity.

We are glad to present our exploration of aging, dietary restriction, genetics, and the microbiome, led by levlitichev, together with our collaborators The Jackson Laboratory and Calico, just published at Nature Microbiology. Major findings are the following: (1/8) nature.com/articles/s4156…
