We emphasize the potential of using the microbiome, specifically the MHI, as an indicator of overall health and suggest that the MHI could serve as a rapid assessment tool to evaluate the effects of various interventions on participants' microbial and overall health.
In this paper, we demonstrate that a gut microbial health index (MHI), originally established through diverse human disease cohorts, is linked to lifestyle and diet, and we identify potential actionable strategies to enhance or negatively impact an individual's MHI.

Now out in @NatureBiotech ! Do lncRNAs commonly bind 1000s of genomic sites? Maybe they do, but the dozens of studies that report genomic binding maps of lncRNAs are deeply flawed, with probes binding suprious DNA sites rather than RNA-bound ones. nature.com/articles/s41587-0…
A preprint‼️that's bound to ruffle some 🪶 "Widespread DNA off-targeting confounds studies of RNA chromatin occupancy" led by our @MicahGoldrich and Louis Delhaye from @pieter_mestdagh. TL;DR we show that many of lncRNA chromatin occupancy maps are flawed🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🍟 Ultra-processed and unhealthy diet exposure, combined with abnormal gut host and microbial signals, persists despite effective treatments in #CrohnsDisease. Addressing these gaps could improve patient health.

Rewarding to see our @HabermanLab study featured on the cover, laying the conceptual framework to underlying mechanism of escape from AT remission (=flare) d/t persistent dietary-metabolic gut perturbances. Hence the need for combined AT-nutrition trials

2/2 We use IBD proof-of-concept model for prioritizing epithelial-targeted metabolite interventions, showing: 1) IBD fecal contents disturb epithelial functions. 2) This was linked with metabolite levels, which 3) guided prioritizing metabolites that reversed IBD negative effects

doi.org/10.1080/19490976.202…, where we try to address the related IBD epithelial dysfunction, which we also noted in this just-published paper in Gastroenterology

We show that Crohn’s Disease advanced therapies address only one side of the disease: the immune response, while perturbations in diet, the microbiome, metabolites, and epithelial barrier function remain largely untouched during remission.

The Rosen lab at @StanfordMed identified a lipid-related metabolic dysfunction as a key feature of the #UlcerativeColitis epithelium.
They show the potential of patient-derived colonoids as a preclinical model to evaluate epithelial-targeted therapies: go.nature.com/3XYR9SE

In a new paper, we show that different diseases such as Alzheimer, Bipolar Disorder, Crohns' Disease, Chrohic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus and Pancreatitis all share a similar microbial response:
