Exciting news from @MRC_microbiome, @NeuRA and @UNSW_CHeBA! Our new publication “Bacteria in the Brain: Do They Have a Role in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease?” is out now in @CurrOpinPsychiatry.

As #Ramadan approaches, millions of Muslims prepare for a month of fasting, prayer, and self-reflection🌙 In our latest article, inspired by research from A/Prof @RomyLauche and Dr Jessica Bayes, we share 5 key tips to stay healthy, energized, and nourished throughout Ramadan 🥦

🌻 However, there is still no conclusive evidence to suggest that a single dietary intervention is the most effective standalone treatment for endometriosis as an adjunct therapy.

🍎 Various diets and nutrients have shown promise in alleviating pain and gastrointestinal symptoms associated with endometriosis.

Key findings: 🍒 Diet and nutrition play a significant role in influencing factors like inflammation, the microbiome, and estrogen levels—all of which are involved in the development and progression of endometriosis.

Our team’s latest review, titled “Dietary and Nutritional Interventions for the Management of Endometriosis”, featured in the special edition of Women in Nutrients in Nutrients MDPI, explores this very question.

Congratulations to our Master's student Nour Abulughoud and our collaborator @the_dietologist on this study. Many thanks to @nadiamorim, Dr Jordan Stanford, Dr Dr Bronwyn Brew Haasdyk and @emadelomar for your support with this work. #endometriosis #microbiome #nutrition

The potential here is truly exciting, and we are eager to continue our research in this area. A huge thank you to our incredible team: @michaeladwagner , @ChloeJ_Hicks, Professor @emadelomar and A/Prof @vcombes21. #Endometriosis #ExtracellularVesicles #Microbiome #Diagnosis

🦠Could host extracellular vesicles, or even bacteria extracellular vesicles, be the breakthrough we've been waiting for? This could be another crucial piece in the complex puzzle of cellular, hormonal, and microbial activity that drives this debilitating disease.

📣I’m thrilled to share that we’ve just published our latest review titled "The Critical Role of Host and Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Endometriosis" in the special edition of Advanced Research in Endometriosis 4.0 in Biomedicines MDPI!

Exciting news from @Fatima_elAssaad. They've made a groundbreaking advancement in the link between Fusobacterium and endometriosis. This could transform how we diagnose and manage a condition affecting millions worldwide. https://t.co/uu6ksBjgvX

Groundbreaking Research on #Endometriosis Our team delved into the microbiome’s role in endometriosis - we uncovered unique microbial patterns in the mouth, gut & vagina of patients with endo https://t.co/bv9LMYLmdv @ChloeJ_Hicks @Fatima_elAssaad @GeorgeCondous @emadelomar

Larger sample size needed to validate a consistent microbial signature for endometriosis diagnosis and potentially microbial-modulating treatment.

🦠 Fusobacterium link: We found an increased presence of Fusobacterium, typically associated with gum disease, in cases of moderate to severe endometriosis.

🔗 Non-invasive diagnostic potential: These bacterial patterns could pave the way for new diagnostic tools, like a swab!
