Amazing work on quorum sensing by @jorgepena9
Jorge Peña@jorgepena920 Mar 2023
Excited to share my latest preprint! 🎉 Here we show that Quorum Sensing plays a critical role in regulating bacterial virulence during infection and also that QS signals accumulate dynamically across the gut, enabling behavior regulation based on infection stage and location! 🦠

A rich meconium metabolome in human infants is associated with early-life gut microbiota composition and reduced allergic sensitization - @FinlayLab et al. report their findings @Cell Reports Medicine #AAI2022 hubs.li/Q019yqTw0

A rich meconium metabolome in human infants is associated with early-life gut microbiota composit...

Petersen et al., reveal that newborns who develop allergic sensitization have a less-diverse gut metabolome at birth and delayed microbiota maturation during infancy. This suggests that both microb...

A recent publication co-authored by our founder, Brett Finlay, highlights the potential for gut microbes to mitigate the negative cognitive effects of malnutrition - possibly through polyunsaturated fatty acid pathways. Read more here: hubs.la/Q012jFNF0

Gut microbes shape microglia and cognitive function during malnutrition

Early-life malnutrition and specific gut microbes shape cognition and microglia in mice. Altered microglial features occur independently from significant neuroinflammation or BBB deficits, but were...
