“Our study establishes that the hundreds of bacterial species that are rare or missing in industrialized microbiomes were ancient companions of ours as we migrated around the globe, likely passed from generation to generation for millennia,” said Justin Sonnenburg, PhD, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford Medicine. med.stanford.edu/news/all-ne…

Gut microbes across continents trace ancient human migration

A study of the microbiome of groups in Africa and South America indicates that diverse gut microbes joined us as we migrated out of Africa — a diversity that is lost among industrialized peoples.

Salm, Lopez, Kubes et al. @UCalgary @queensu reveal that peritoneal #mastcells, activated by sensory neurons, extend #cytonemes that hand off extracellular condensate to neighboring #macrophages, driving rapid aggregation & a repair phenotype. hubs.la/Q04qkmg20

Out today in @JExpMed: sensory nerves activate peritoneal mast cells, which extend 100 µm cytonemes to hand extracellular condensates to macrophages — driving aggregation and repair at abdominal injuries. With @MonicaAidaLopez, @Kubes_Lab & a wonderful team 🧵

Big breakthroughs in brain and mental health start with fundamental discovery. Dr. Mats Ambrozkiewicz studies how the brain develops at the molecular level, focusing on how protein signaling pathways help guide the precise timing of brain development. bit.ly/49SfaOM

Progressing the field of tissue repair: doi.org/10.1172/JCI198632 Here, Lilian Salm @lilian_salm, Paul Kubes @Kubes_Lab, Guido Beldi @BeldiGuido & team show that peritoneal macrophages release fibronectin, accelerating skin wound healing at distant sites and revealing an endocrine role for these cells in systemic tissue repair beyond the abdominal cavity. #PeritonealMacrophages #WoundHealing

Arthritis breakthroughs are at risk — unless we invest now. 🔬 Arthritis affects more Canadians than diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and dementia combined — yet research funding is declining. 📉 arthritis.ca/about-us/news-s…
