Another beautiful paper from silverman lab re the importance of early life microbiome interactions with the host. If I didn't 'live' in the gut, I think it would be the pancreas for me, I love so much stuff from the NOD T1DM model.

Our review on the health implications of social microbiome transmission is out now in Cell.

I've learned so much from this group of amazing co-authors, led by Amar Sarkar. And come out with many new research questions I can't wait to see studied!

Our new meta-analysis suggests maybe not: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
