Already excited for UEG Week next week? Save this session recommendation from UEG Scientific Committee Member @alinkmd:
📌 Personalised management in upper GI cancer

ALT The image shows a large exhibition hall filled with people attending a scientific conference or event, with displays and booths highlighting research topics such as personalized management of upper GI cancer.
Normalising #microRNA in fecal specimens is challenging due to the limited availability of endogenous normalizers.
In our recent study, we conducted a systematic evaluation of potential endogenous normalizers for fecal microRNA analysis. We demonstrated the significant impact of blood contamination and identified promising alternative candidates for reliable normalization.

Kicking off 3 days of new advances in clinical, translational, and basic research on Helicobacter and the gut microbiota at #EHMSG2026!
Excited to meet and connect with colleagues and friends to advance the field.

Alongside Helicobacter pylori, #Fusobacterium nucleatum is among the most clinically relevant bacteria linked to carcinogenesis.
In our recent review, we focus on their roles in driving clinical outcomes and patient prognosis.

Research on the gut microbiome and #FMT in #cardiometabolic disease is rapidly expanding.
Our latest review summarizes the past year's most impactful findings on FMT and its therapeutic potential in cardiometabolic health

Little is still known about fungi-gut interactions. Check out our recent work using a unique cohort of twins to characterize these potential dynamics and interactions! 🔬🧬
Key findings:
📈 Greater heterogeneity than bacteria
🦠 Candida & Geotrichum dominate
🧬 Independent of host zygosity, aging, & environment
🔄 Negative correlations between dominant bacterial & fungal genera

Predicting #HCC recurrence after liver transplantation remains a major clinical challenge.
In our latest proof-of-principle study, we demonstrate that #microRNA signatures from primary HCC tumor tissues are linked to recurrence risk post-LTX.
A huge thank you to all participating centers and collaborators! 🤝

Huge congratulations to Konrad Lehr on successfully defending his PhD! 🎓
In his doctoral thesis, Konrad explored the critical clinical and translational roles of the #microbiome and #mycobiome, providing profound insights into the complex dynamics of host-microbiota interactions. 🦠🧬
The journey continues: We are thrilled that the next chapter of this research begins now at the #MedicalCampusOberfranken (MCO) at Medical Faculty #FAU... 👏🔬

Is there sufficient scientific evidence to confirm that adding beneficial biotics (#probiotics, #prebiotics, #synbaitics, #postbiotics etc) to infant formula provides health benefits?
👉No
@ESPGHANSociety: no recommendation for or against their routine use!

Mein herzlicher Dank an die Studierenden der @unimedmagdeburg (OVGU) für die erneute Auszeichnung als Bester Dozent des klinischen Studienabschnitts 2024–2025.
Auch nach meinem Wechsel an die @UniFAU #MCOBayreuth und das #KlinikumBayreuth bedeutet mir diese Anerkennung sehr viel und bestärkt mich darin, Lehre weiterhin engagiert, evidenzbasiert und mit klinischer Praxisnähe zu gestalten.
