Nature Metabolism - Zhang et al. use human studies and mechanistic work in mouse models to describe how leucine serves as the key amino acid derived from dietary protein to drive deleterious...
“Our study shows that dialing up your protein intake in pursuit of better metabolic health is not a panacea,” said Babak Razani, M.D., Ph.D., professor of cardiology at Pitt. Pitt experts say too much protein can cause trouble for your arteries: https://t.co/3ZvTUzNykv

PhD Chris Donnelly and his team at @donnelly_lab have found that the role of biomolecular condensates in ALS could point to new treatments. They’ve founded Confluence Therapeutics in hopes that their findings can help relieve patients' symptoms. https://t.co/jv0N7k25MO

Congrats 👏 to Dr. @GraceLisiusMD for leading the paper in @iScience_CP studying plasma microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) 🩸🦠🧬 in patients with #COVID19
https://t.co/I3YgdZ2ci6 Simple ?: is it just #Covid or is there bacterial/fungal superinfection? Answer not so simple... 🧵

Plasma biomarkers independently associated with #mcfDNA levels. Possible that some of so-called "Cytokine Storm" we saw in #Covid was due to #microbiota or secondary infections? We had seen something similar pre-covid @HYang84908151

We #immunometabolism folks always talk about how metabolically demanding immune cell activation is, but my #SundayCuriosity is: has this ever been measured? Has anyone shown how many “calories” a T cell response requires/burns?

A lot of scientific discoveries and translational research happening here at Pitt! @PittResearch @PittTweet
For the first time in its more than 230-year history, the University of Pittsburgh has surpassed over $1 billion in annual research expenditures, joining just over a dozen national institutions that have done the same.

Humans carry around trillions of microbes in and on their bodies. That’s a good thing. And someday, they might even act as our medicine. Tagbo Niepa received the @NIH New Innovator Award to develop tech that could make that possibility a reality:

The human body plays host to hundreds of diverse species of microbial life that have an enormous impact on human health and longevity. These microscopic organisms make up the human microbiome, and...
