Amazing work on quorum sensing by @jorgepena9
Excited to share my latest preprint! 🎉 Here we show that Quorum Sensing plays a critical role in regulating bacterial virulence during infection and also that QS signals accumulate dynamically across the gut, enabling behavior regulation based on infection stage and location! 🦠

A rich meconium metabolome in human infants is associated with early-life gut microbiota composition and reduced allergic sensitization - @FinlayLab et al. report their findings @Cell Reports Medicine #AAI2022
cell.com
Petersen et al., reveal that newborns who develop allergic sensitization have a less-diverse gut metabolome at birth and delayed microbiota maturation during infancy. This suggests that both microb...

Early-life malnutrition and specific gut microbes shape cognition and microglia in mice. Altered microglial features occur independently from significant neuroinflammation or BBB deficits, but were...
