We wanted to start 2023 by creating a platform for the discussion of fermented foods and health that clearly articulates current understanding and knowledge gaps of fermented food research. Sign up below for updates:

Today we report a new model system for the gut microbiome: hCom2, a defined community of 119 strains. @AliceCheng107 led the charge, with major contributions from Po-Yi Ho, @DrChilennial, and @SunitJain. Co-led by my longtime collaborator KC Huang. 1/22 https://t.co/EGr9EExTXp

The development of a complex community of bacteria that represents the most common taxa from the human microbiome enables further mechanistic study of genes, pathways, and species that influence host...

Was an honor to play some small role in this—congrats to the team on a landmark study.
Excellent story on new @CellCellPress paper on creating a synthetic human microbiome, led by Biohub investigator @mfgrp of @StanfordEng. Read on for a peek behind the scenes. 1/5

Congratulations Ajit! You continue to be an inspiration to your many [very lucky] trainees
Congratulations to Ajit Varki @UCSanDiego—visionary founder @GRTCnews+@CARTAUCSD Herbert Tabor Research Award for Excellence in Chemistry & Molecular Biology @ASBMB I am among so many fortunate to have Ajit as a physician-scientist role model and collaborator (30 joint papers)

Many emotions, proud, sad...a little scared. Is the world ready for @theHanLab? Seat belts on. Enjoy the ride Shuo et al!
Very grateful for the support of my mentors, collaborators, and colleagues @GutBugs2 @BrunetLab @mfgrp @William_Mair. Though sad to leave @LabSonnenburg, I can’t wait to work with the new colleagues at Duke!

Good Gut inspired cereal in stores (maybe) near you, from a South Korean breakfast food company. Lab taste testing underway!

Has the industrial lifestyle impacted infant gut microbiome assembly? Profoundly. https://t.co/UcijMivFdE Inspired by leads @MattagenOlmics and Dylan Dahan and an A+ team, and grateful for those who funded this work , @NIH_CommonFund, @NIH_NCCIH, @czbiohub, @gates_foundation

Global comparison of infant gut microbiota assembly shows systematic divergences depending on lifestyle.

If you and 20 friends were to eat the same chopped salad every meal for 7 days, what would happen to your gut microbiomes and microbiome-metabolites? Great to see this collaborative study out in @cellhostmicrobe lead by the amazing @HHMINEWS Hannah Gray Fellow @LeahTGuthrie.
If interested in how dietary homogeneity shapes gut microbiome metabolites, check out our new paper led by @LeahTGuthrie in Cell Host & Microbe: https://t.co/d4Vu4WyQXr. Great collaboration with @SeanPaulSpencer & others

Dear fellow microbiome enthusiasts, in two weeks, we are hosting FOOD, MICROBIOTA AND IMMUNITY conference in the heart of Prague. If you'd be interested in feeding not only your brains but also your gut bugs with amazing dishes, the registration is open! https://t.co/bQRWVaiYFQ

Tons of insight plus genetic tools to propel the field (and beautiful images). Congratulations and thanks for the great work!
Finally! The culmination of almost 5 yrs of work by the brave Akkermaniacs team @DukeMGM. @lauren282012 developed genetics for Akkermansia, an important member of the human microbiota that was until recently considered genetically intractable

This was a fun conversation-- such an honor to be with my Stanford colleague and exceptional science communicator @hubermanlab to discuss gut microbes and health.
New Huberman Lab Podcast Out Now: HOW TO BUILD, MAINTAIN & REPAIR YOUR GUT MICROBIOME HEALTH w/Dr Justin Sonnenburg @GutBugs2 from @StanfordMed • Feeding your gut properly • Fiber facts & myths • Gut neurotransmitters • Pets & dirt • Stress https://t.co/TvFJubkd06

Using a mouse model in which early-life antibiotics enhance T1D, Zhang et al. show that subsequent maternal cecal microbiota transfer reduces illness. The restorative effects on the intestinal...

Inspired by the work and vision of lead scientists committed creating tools for microbiome metabolomics https://t.co/k8xJ4DFwa3 we hope will be useful to others: @shuolhan (faculty search committees take note) and Will Van Treuren (VCs?). Great N&V https://t.co/tU1Qy0fXbC

Nice write-up of our high fiber, high fermented food study @StanfordMed
https://t.co/h9dRxKItgb
med.stanford.edu
Stanford researchers discover that a 10-week diet high in fermented foods boosts microbiome diversity and improves immune responses.

Clever study by @Suzanne_Devkota and colleagues examines stress response to dietary protein restriction and the gut microbiota. Among other insights, dietary fiber x gut microbiota interactions can modulate the effects of a diet low in protein (1/2) https://t.co/kIpJvLwXrT

Nature Communications - Dietary protein restriction induces a hepatic stress response mediated by the endocrine molecule FGF21, which triggers host adaptive pathways. Here the authors demonstrate...
