The Holobiont concept treats host and microbiome as one unit, but we often lack the "how." A new study from @tovefall.bsky.social & Marju Orho-Melander of ~28k people just bridged that gap. We aren't just "carrying" microbes; our DNA is hardcoded to sense them. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧪 In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show how 11 genetic variants affect gut microbiome. @tovefall.bsky.social (SciLifeLab/@uu.se) led one of the studies. Learn more in the Uppsala University press release here: www.mynewsdesk.com/uu/pressrele...

Such a beautiful and inportant song and so incredibly sad it had to be written.

New data on the impact on incomes of parenting a child with type 1 diabetes #T1D #DiabetesResearch #Endocrinology #MedSky

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Some days being a scientist is a struggle, and some days you get three papers accepted in the same day 🎉🎉🎉

Stress has been suggested to increase the risk of type 1 diabetes. We assessed the association of loss-of-1st-degree-relative on risk of type 1 diabetes in 3.5 million Swedish children with >86k losses and >18k diabetes events and found no evidence of such impact.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Looking forward to tomorrow!

Removing the #X app from my home screen on my phone has been tremendously good for my everyday mood as I no longer start the app without a conscious decision.
