So great to see an MassGeneralChildren #DigestiveDiseases Summer Research Program alumna do so well presenting at #ASMicrobe! Congratulations to Sydney Edwards! Sydney Edwards 🎉 Center for Celiac Research and Treatment @MGH_RI

#Inflammation and #fibrosis are closely linked in chronic liver diseases. This REVIEW discusses how immune cell recruitment and wound healing processes can lead to non-functional scar tissue, potentially causing organ failure go.nature.com/3LezdNA

Researchers at the Broad Institute have developed a gene-editing approach that efficiently corrects the most common mutation that causes #CysticFibrosis, found in 85% of patients. It could pave the way for one-time treatments and have fewer side effects: bit.ly/3Y6lZKa

What are you doing on your summer vakay? Danie, a student at UC Davis, is spending his summer in Boston at our Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center lab. Danie is one of our 9 summer interns. Program funded by NIDDK. Science in Boston Science News @mghfc Info on program → tinyurl.com/3r8h7rj9

In a recent Cell Host & Microbe study, researchers from MGH Division of Gastroenterology and colleagues identified gut bacterial strains linked to IBD. Read more: massgeneral.org/news/press-rel… Adarsh Kumbhari Thomas Nok Hin Cheng Christopher Smillie

#ThrowbackThursday - Here are our 2023 summer interns and their supervisors. Tomorrow, August 9: Our symposium for 2024 interns to present their independent research on digestive diseases. Funded by NIDDK. @mghfc. Dr. Christina Faherty Info on program → tinyurl.com/3r8h7rj9

Alessio Fasano, MD, is a co-author on this study, just published in The Lancet. The Human Microbiome Action Consortium has studied the need + potential of #microbiome -based biomarkers for several indications or diseases. Microbiome News Microbiome Insights tinyurl.com/by7rkstt

Happy 10th 🎂to our @mghfc Digestive Disease Summer Research Program! 10 years = 106 grads. Some are back in college. Some practicing medicine. Others conducting biomedical research. Program funded by NIDDK. "Meet" some our graduates + their mentors → tinyurl.com/yc7jdwmy

Congrats to our colleague Ali R. Zomorrodi who was among the expert presenters at Transforming Human Health through Microbiome webinar on 9/18. #microbiome @celiacresearch @mghfc #microbiomics Front Line Genomics

"Intestino e Microbioma: La Radice Nascosta di Ogni Malattia?" Watch this video interview with Alessio Fasano, MD, and Lucia Aronica, PhD, Stanford Medicine. Topic: the gut #microbiome and related diseases (English subtitles). #intestino #glutine #probiotici youtu.be/Q1Y9sqhS2VE

October is National Hispanic Heritage Month, and we love this Health Disparities conversation with Sabrina Sales Martinez, PhD about her community-engaged research on sleep, cognition and gut #microbiome in Hispanic/Latino communities. #HispanicHeritageMonth

#WorldMentalHealthDay - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, not a food allergy. However, this published study examines how living with one or more dietary restriction impacts our mental health. #WMHD2024 #mentalhealth #celiacdisease #gluten ▶️tinyurl.com/4n2s35ha

We work hard, and sometimes we have fun 😁 Check out a tour of our lab, scripted by Gen Z members of the team 🤩 @MGH_RI Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center MGBfC Pediatric Pulmonology instagram.com/reel/DA_rh_fxi…

We love hearing from former colleagues! Rachael Chanin, PhD, Stanford Department of Medicine, lead-authored this study at nature. Rachael says: "I owe my scientific career to folks at the MIBRC. They gave me my first real opportunity to do research." Dr. Christina Faherty →med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…

World Science Day is November 10, when we salute our colleagues who bring the wonders of science to life in our #mucosal immunology and #celiac disease research labs. #InternationalWorldScienceDay, #microbiome #immunology, #gutbrainaxis #infectious #GI tract #lung #science

Today I write for the Los Angeles Times: Long COVID is solvable, but we need more clinical trials. These include trials of drugs to clear #SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs: small pockets of the virus - or parts of the virus - that can persist long-term in people’s bodies. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
