The gut microbiome influences metabolites, hormones and immune function Perturbing gut microbiota therefore impacts homeostasis across somatic tissues Could it also affect the reproductive system - and even offspring? See our results👇& tweetorial🧵 https://t.co/lb6w6BjoW7

Really interesting paper in Nature Immunology today (Broquet et al.) They found that people who recover from sepsis have a reduced cancer risk in the years that follow (vs. matched people with non-septic infections): This was recapitulated in a controlled setting in mice - mice

Very excited to share news of my @wellcometrust CDA, to work on transposons in pregnancy complications. Hailing from the Medical and Molecular Genetics dept at @KingsCollegeLon, the Frost lab will be recruiting postdocs soon! (This is super straightforward at the moment, right?)

A review in Nature, by @candice_odgers, asserts that I have mistaken correlation for causation and that “there is no evidence that using these platforms is rewiring children’s brains or driving an epidemic of mental illness.” Both of these assertions are untrue.

How do tumours evade destruction by the immune system? We are recruiting two postdocs (wet lab/dry lab) to shed light on epigenetic checkpoints of anti-tumour immunity in lung cancers in this collaborative project funded by @CR_UK. https://t.co/T3ZznlxQUx

Can you please RT this to help me find a committed postdoctoral candidate to join our team? If they are passionate about signalling <-> epigenetic networks/injury/tissue repair/pre-malignant to malignant transition this is for them. 🙏 https://t.co/4d6Tpj40ZY

@BrancoLab Great presentation shows the fireworks of TE-regulated genes that are crucial for the development of the human placenta. Mostly from the work of @neverlethetruth published recently. https://t.co/xVndckLvhO

Our vitamin C paper has now been peer reviewed! Once Kevin left our lab, finishing this relied on a fantastic team effort that I'm quite proud of. And it has made us wonder how else metabolites affect TE biology. https://t.co/OZdnkrda1U

Background Vitamin C (vitC) enhances the activity of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including TET enzymes, which catalyse DNA demethylation, and Jumonji-domain histone demethylases. The...
Follow-up to the very first paper from our lab. Yes, this one took a while and involved finding people's new email addresses... If you're wondering what vitamin C does to TEs, have a look. https://t.co/Jl4TJGjJNL
