#bacteria cause mutations in #cancer - but only if they stick to host cells. Brilliant study from @LarsVereecke lab in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… Our accompanying perspective with @kyannaouyang: nature.com/articles/d4158… Lots of implications for new CRC prevention approaches!
@MicroSarahP @EricSkaar @lawrenzlab Congrats, Sarah! So well deserved!
@JessicaRQueen1 Ugh sorry you had a rough day! I hear ya! This job is such a rollercoaster…
@JasonSynaptic I would love to see user reviews on all manufacturer websites, like we have for everything else in life!

Dr. Julia L. Drewes (@Drewes_Lab), Dr. K. Leigh Greathouse (@CancerMicrobes), and Dr. Marios Giannakis @GiannakisLab presented their research on the microbiome/biological basis of early-onset GI cancers during the #RueschSymposium on Nov 17th, 2023 at @LombardiCancer.
📢CALLING ALL MICROBIOLOGISTS📢 Do you use CFU assays? Here is a new high-throughput, low-waste viability assay for microbes All you need is agar media, pipette tips and a standard camera 🧫📸 nature.com/articles/s4156… @meyerct6 @danastamo
My department is hiring an Assistant Professor in bacterial pathogenesis! Come join @GWLiechti and me and the rest of our supportive colleagues in Bethesda. higheredjobs.com/details.cfm?Jo…
Out today in @cellhostmicrobe, @LDzierozynski, @DrCindySears, and I comment on shaping of the gut microbiome by host genes. @HopkinsMedicine @JHMed_ID @bloombergkimmel sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Remarkable! According to this paper humans almost became extinct: "Results showed that human ancestors went through a severe population bottleneck with about 1280 breeding individuals between around 930,000 and 813,000 years ago." h/t @LippiLab science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
It seems like sci-fi. They engineered bacteria to detect colon cancer. science.org/doi/full/10.11… @ScienceMagazine #synbio
Very excited to share this beautiful story by @ShailabShrestha describing his surprising discovery that cell division in C. difficile occurs via a mechanism distinct from previously characterized bacteria. Done in collaboration with the amazing @SGribaldo & Najwa Taib. 1/9
So excited to finally share this work!! We found an unexpected repurposing of canonical division enzymes during the evolution of endospore formation and some surprisingly unique aspects of cell division in C. difficile. Check out our preprint: rb.gy/j5uvc
Out in @NatureCancer: @fyzashaikh , @DrCindySears , and I review the latest advancements in microbiome research with potential therapeutic impacts for cancer. nature.com/articles/s4301…
Major, fatal errors found in the data and methods of a 2020 paper in @Nature, including millions of reads mis-identified as bacteria. The "cancer microbiome" in this study was simply not there. @AbrahamGihawi @elapertea @YuchenGe1 @JenniferLu717 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
📍A new #COVID wave is clearly emerging in US, all while immunity levels are waning and new boosters aren’t even close to arriving yet. You don’t need another original Omicron winter wave to cause disruption—Delta variant killed a lot in Aug-Oct 2021. Plus don’t risk #LongCovid.
Wastewater numbers from Biobot.io are now rising in all regions.⬆️ Almost double where they were in mid June. From these data, my case estimates: 🔸365,000 new cases/day⬆️ 🔸1 in every 900 people were infected today 🔸1 in every 90 people currently infected.
