New preprint on @medrxivpreprint.bsky.social from our 6-week RCT comparing two fermentable fibres with a non-fermentable control. We asked: • whether fibre effects depend on microbial fermentation • and whether microbiome differences explain variable responses 🔗 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Mechanistic insights into microbiome-dependent and personalized responses to dietary fibre in a randomized controlled trial
Dietary fiber supplementation can reduce cardiometabolic risk, but its effective use is limited by incomplete understanding of fibre-microbiome interactions and highly individualized responses. We tes...

I joined Dr. Karan Rajan to talk about the science of the gut microbiome, how it’s changed through industrialisation, how we can restore it, and the NiMe diet. Grateful, and humbled, to discuss the #microbiome on a channel with 2M followers. 🎥 Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb4d...

Great podcast with Anissa Armet PhD RD on our recent @cellpress.bsky.social about the 'Non-industrialized Microbiome Restore (NiMe) Diet'. Covers a lot of the science, but also how Anissa's personal journey with IBD inspired both the research and the diet itself.

It is hard to determine habitat adaptations in host-associated bacteria, e.g. because strains might be allochthonous or mislabeled. Here we present aurora, a gwas tool that identifies autochthonous strains and the genes associated with their habitats. doi.org/10.1186/s130...

I have been teaching classes on the gut #microbiome for almost 20 years and always struggled to have a good book to recommend. Finally there is one. Fergus Shanahan's "Fast Facts: The Gut Microbiome" provides expert insight, is brilliant, and it is free. doi.org/10.1159/isbn...

Very much to our surprise, a strain of Limosilactobacillus reuteri drives severe pathology in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Pathology was driven by a secondary metabolite that hyperactivates the AhR receptor. See our publication in Cell Reports. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A new study led by Prof Jens Walter of @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social reveals that a newly developed diet, inspired by the eating habits of non-industrialized societies, can significantly lower the risk of several chronic diseases. Read more here: www.researchireland.ie/news/non-ind...

Really nice to see my alma mater, @unihohenheim.bsky.social, post about our recent study in @cellpress.bsky.social. I spent most of my student years there (they have a historic park and a castle). Big thanks also to Stephan Bischoff and Dr. Benjamin Seethaler for another great collaboration.

Today we report a new compendium of human gut microbiomes with >168,000 samples By analyzing this massive dataset, we discovered distinct microbiome patterns across the globe, and show we can predict where a person lives just from their gut bacteria Now out in Cell: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
