It is a pleasure to share our new study led by my PhD student, Gaute Hovde Bø. Check it out if you are interested in how the fecal metabolome of infants might change in response to different biotic interventions. authorea.com/users/841152/ar…

Can we map gut inflammation with ultrasound? Yes, using probiotic biosensors! 🔊
Imagine drinking a "diagnostic yogurt" and getting an ultrasound instead of endoscopy or colonoscopy 😁.
Congrats to @MarjorieBuss and collaborators on this advance. doi.org/10.1101/2024.09.23.6…

New article out in Comm Biol by 1st authors @HiraJonathan and Bhupender Singh. Check out if interested in a) Cellular phenotypic heterogeneity in bacterial pathogen populations & how cell individuality shapes pop. behavior b) S. aureus c) new applications for chemical probes.
Phenotypic profiling detects differential cultivability and antimicrobial susceptibility in isogenic, but phenotypically heterogenous bacterial populations.

What your brain's microbiome means for your health? The answer is: Absolutely nothing, as there is none. And no, brain microbiomes play also no role in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's. This article is not based on scientific information that is credible.

Breastfeeding provides many health benefits, partly mediated by its microbiome.
.@MeghanAzad & colleagues @CHILDSTUDY found maternal genetics determined HMO composition, which in turn was associated with the respiratory health of human milk-fed infants:

Researchers report in Science that infected bacteria surprisingly fight back with “hidden” genes that halt cell growth, slowing viral spread.
The results highlight the potential for other “hidden” genes to be unearthed in different biological contexts. scim.ag/81v
