Amazing new article from the Thaiss and Levy labs! These data show that gut microbes drive age-related memory loss by disrupting gut-brain signaling. @christophthaiss.bsky.social @maayanlevy.bsky.social @karapedsgastrodoc.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Could boosting gut–brain communication prevent memory loss? New research by @christophthaiss.bsky.social suggests restoring vagus nerve activity can reverse cognitive decline in aging mice. He joins us to discuss microbes, memory, and internal senses. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/could-b...

This new review from Core Investigator @christophthaiss.bsky.social & Innovation Investigator @maayanlevy.bsky.social maps how gut metabolites shape diseases from IBD to cancer, and lays out a framework for using them as therapies.

#RememberMe! #MicrobiotaPower! @christophthaiss.bsky.social @maayanlevy.bsky.social Cox &co show @nature.com that microbial fatty acid-GPR84 driven intestinal inflammation initiates an actionable #GutBrainAxis that disrupts neuronal activation driving memory loss during #aging!

We are excited to present our new study at @nature.com, led by Tim Cox and performed in collaboration with the lab of @maayanlevy.bsky.social, in which we explore the impact of gut-brain axis aging on cognitive decline. nature.com/articles/s41...

Today in @nature.com, the @christophthaiss.bsky.social & @maayanlevy.bsky.social labs trace age-related memory loss to the gastrointestinal tract & map the complete gut-to-brain pathway driving it. Targeting this pathway can reverse cognitive aging in mice. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CAR T cell therapy has shown strong results against certain cancers, but metabolic exhaustion limits its effectiveness over time. In Cell, the @maayanlevy.bsky.social & @christophthaiss.bsky.social labs report that a common supplement can fuel CAR T cells to fight cancer more effectively.
