Beyond excited to finally be able to share this manuscript after years of work! It provides the first evidence that #circRNAs accumulate in human placental tissue with #ageing and in #stillbirth, as well as a potential #mechanism for stillbirth pathology. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨New Paper Alert! Over 8 years in the making (including 2 in peer review 😬) - I could not be happier to share our genome-wide association study of #HumanMilk Oligosaccharides in the CHILD Cohort Study - published today in Nature Communications. 🧬🤱🏻🫁 #Tweetorial 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to announce the establishment of the UQ Centre for EV NanoMedicine! This incredible collaborative program wouldn’t be possible without Joy Wolfram, PhD, Dr Amirali Popat, and >70 researchers, 11 Faculties/institutes across UQ clinical-research.centre.uq.edu.au/research/uq-ce… ISEV #UQCCR

Important new research with big implications for understanding babies' #microbiomes & the role of #breastmilk in their development. Congrats Dr Trevor Lawley, Yan Shao & team! 👏🏻 nature.com/articles/s4156…

Meanwhile in Chicago.

📢Proud to share our new paper!📢 It all began with a conversation about germ-free animals having small litters and no one really knew why. Here we define a role for microbiota in the ovarian reserve and trade-offs between growth and reproduction. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I know there are some unhinged people posting deranged stuff on X, but this has to be right up there on the batshit crazy index!!!

Interesting paper in JAMA on preterm birth rates during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, finding a reduction in sPTB, intraamniotic infection and PPROM suggestive of a decline in infectious causes as a consequence of the mitigation measures. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
