Great to see our Review "The gut microbiome connects nutrition and human health" making the cover of this month's Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology Yolanda Sanz Eran Elinav patrick veiga Melanie Deschasaux Rebekka Lambrecht nature.com/articles/s4157…

Years of research on the fundamental processes of microbial ecology have led to a new question: How can we engineer these communities? 🛠️ A review by Joy Bergelson and Lucas Henry summarizes these core principles and their application. nature.com/articles/s4156…

🐭🧠 Study shows psychological stress can break oral tolerance to food in mice, triggering IgE–mast cell activation & histamine-driven pain in small & large intestine—offering a mechanism for stress-related, food-induced abdominal pain in #IBS. #gitweeter gastrojournal.org/action/showPdf…

Not all dietary fibers work the same for metabolic health New findings reveal intrinsic chicory root fibers modulate colonic microbial butyrate-producing pathways and improve insulin sensitivity in individuals with obesity: loom.ly/_0hh-Is

Emerging research is exploring how dietary nitrogen compounds program gut bacteria to protect against or promote cancer development through inflammatory pathways These findings open novel therapeutic strategies for IBD: loom.ly/QhuSdVM

Pleased to post this preprint with a long list of great collaborators. #microbiome #antibioticresistance biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Meet p-crAssphage, the most common virus in the human gut — now isolated for the first time by Stanford researchers. Read more in this Cell Host & #Microbiome (Cell Host & Microbe) Q&A with #StanDOM researchers Ami Bhatt, MD, Grant Sherlock & DanicaSchmidtke: stanford.io/4fzpfEV

Very excited to share the latest work from the Artis lab! Now out in Nature Immunology. Your gut’s neurons aren’t just for digestion; they help heal it too! nature.com/articles/s4159…

🆕🔥Butyric acid contributes to long-term improvement in #IBS symptoms following #FMT 💩 ✅Butyric acid level is inversely correlate with IBS-SSS total score & scores for #AbdominalPain #AbdominalDistention #Diarrhea #Constipation 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nm… ANMS ESNM.eu

Check out the commentary I wrote on some cool new metagenomic workflows from Elisa Caffrey and the Sonnenburg lab. New ways to study fermented food microbes :). journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

Cool application of microbiome in food science Using metagenomics on cacao, they mapped how microbes influence chocolate flavors. Then they built a defined microbial community that replicates premium chocolate flavors -- validated by trained tasters! nature.com/articles/s4156…

A massive genetic study in nature just identified why chronic pain hits some people harder than others. They discovered the first neuronal “pain transporter” - and it could unlock entirely new ways to treat pain. 🧵

Live Biotherapeutics and postbiotics may benefit #IBS treatment says Dr. Andrea Shinn from UCLA Linda Ánh Vân Nguyễn MD Lin Chang ACG course concludes #microbiome #DGBI

Bloating VERY common concern patients bring to GI visits. Baha Moshiree MD, MSci, FACG, AGAF did masterful job walking us through bloat/gas. Things to consider: 🔹Constipation 🔹Lactose 🔹FODMAPs 🔹Other foods 🔹Meds 🔹GI disorders 🔹Don’t overlook ovarian cancer! #ACGMWRegional ACG

Why the microbiome should be part of the equation of precision therapy in Crohn’s disease? Emerging studies highlight the momentum of using microbial signatures as a non-invasive tool that improves the patients’ quality of life: loom.ly/c_BJW8U

Multicenter RCT in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology: FMT (with live microbes) prevents recurrent C. diff far better than fecal filtrates. Live microbes matter to restore #microbiome. Thanks to Dina Kao (University of Alberta) & Sebastian Schmidt (APC Microbiome Ireland), and whole team. 🔗 authors.elsevier.com/c/1lphg8nByrGW…

Anyone who has worked with germ-free mice knows the struggle of dealing with these notoriously poor breeders. Colony maintenance is a huge pain. But WHY? Happy to share our paper in @CellHostMicrobe that begins to unpack this long-standing mystery!🧵 cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Stanford Medicine experts are using discoveries about the intestinal microbiome and psychology to help patients with unexplained symptoms reset the relationship between their guts and their brains. stan.md/48wkSsy

Stanford Medicine researchers are turning discoveries about diet and health into action -- making nutrition central to medical education and patient care. stan.md/3IFkqh7
