Our work on keto+microbiome+epilepsy is up online now! thank you to @pipethero and other colleagues that contributed to the interesting findings! See the thread for our cool results👇

APC’s @JensWalter15 (@Researchirel Prof at @UCC ) is co author on a new @NatRevGastroHep Review- Intestinal pH: a major driver of human gut microbiota composition and metabolism

The microbiome is knocking on the clinicians' door @gianluca1aniro, @Siew_C_Ng, @GiovanniCammar9, @h_sokol, @EranElinav @Elinav_Lab @WeersmaLab & colleagues update key microbiome findings ripe to bedside and challenges: https://t.co/ajBwaxj3DG

Microbes are amazing creatures can help us survive environmental toxins

Happy to be able to present this work by Elena & co, now up in final form: https://t.co/A6SxrXvhvY It now has insights on how maternal consumption of a low protein diet during the pregnancy leads to lasting effects on maternal milk and immune status during the postpartum period

Food is a major trigger of gastrointestinal symptoms in IBS Learn more about the role of diet and probiotics for managing carbohydrate intolerance: https://t.co/QOYzI3uD17

New review from the lab! Do #microglia metabolize #fructose in #Alzheimers Disease? https://t.co/ursAF3RUX4 Big congrats to the first author @AnnaliseSturno for all her hard work 💪🏻👩🏻‍🔬💪🏻

Belelli et al. explore the role of GABA in integrating brain and GI tract functions. They discuss how gut bacteria use and produce GABA, influencing brain activity and providing potential therapeutic opportunities for brain disorders. https://t.co/FfJvxLiRk6

The brain-gut axis is programmed in the first few years of life, including pregnancy. #GITwitter #MedTwitter #IBS

The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state. A special issue unpacked this brain region’s impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. https://t.co/MyhZIU75PT #BrainAwarenessWeek

Rust et al. examine the structure of the blood–brain barrier, highlighting changes with aging, neurodegeneration, and injury. They discuss how BBB disruption can accelerate disease progression, and review emerging drug delivery strategies. https://t.co/c33pM0uxND

Takeaways from Schröder on the potential of human microbiota in modulating colonic mucus function SCFA-producing probiotics may prevent Western-style diet-induced gut barrier effects but its role in IBD and other gastrointestinal conditions is unclear #GMFH2025

Lifetime exposures contribute to brain health by multiple mechanisms @AndreaMerchak 📸 @jfcryan, @UCCpsychiatry & colleagues #GMFH2025

Women are twice as likely to develop #Alzheimersdisease as men — but scientists do not know why. Read our latest News Feature from @sofiamoutinhoBR https://t.co/BoweC1vhXZ

Gut inflammation leads to increased brain inflammation and neurodegeneration @AndreaMerchak et al. found that the Lactobacillus species themselves, and not the disrupted microbial communities, are protective from environmental stressors #GMFH2025

Disrupted sleep and circadian rhythms are deeply intertwined with mental health. They don’t just reflect mental illness—they can drive it. And psychiatric symptoms further disrupt sleep. Restoring circadian health could be a powerful treatment 🧵 1/12

🚨Interested in why fermented foods may be important for health? Check out our new pub describing a class of microbial metabolites that are abundant in fermented foods and are modifiable to enhance food matrix bioactivity towards a key immune receptor-AhR https://t.co/PjdVkV9aPy

Fiber isn't the only favourite food for gut microbes Foods rich in fiber and unsaturated fatty acids nourish the microbiota @HolscherLab #GMFH2025

I’m a scientist with a doctorate in Psychology & a focus on Neuroscience. Here are 12 controversial truths about mental & brain health you won’t like—but need to hear:

The longer I work in medicine, the more convinced I am that anxiety and depression are a just response in a deeply unjust society.
