Revised refereed preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Revision work lead by @longweibai.bsky.social Our work reveals how the #microbiota helps buffer #malnutrition: L. plantarum sustains intestinal activity of the steroid hormone ecdysone, expanding the midgut and supporting systemic growth.

🛰️ Kosmické počasí a technologie, vliv mikrobiomu na cukrovku nebo historie Slovanů v Byzantské říši – to jsou příklady témat, která od ledna řešili středoškolští studenti během svých stáží na pracovištích Akademie věd ČR. Více ⬇️ www.avcr.cz/cs/pro-verej...

Great event! Do register and attend.

Paper in Nature 150 years ago. Beats reading any single-cell experiment…

Delighted to share that I’ve been awarded the prestigious Polish-Czech Lead Agency Grant! 🎉Our project will explore how the sinonasal microbiota modulates airway immunity & allergic inflammation, in collaboration with Dr Sabina Górska. @mbuavcr.bsky.social #Nasalmicrobiome #Airways #Allergy #GAČR

Congratulations 👏 Pavla Bojarová, head of Laboratory of Biotransformation, has become a professor in the field of Biomedical Engineering. The ceremonial handover of the of the appointment decrees to new professors from the hands of the President Petr Pavel took place in Carolinum. 📷@MŠMT

In the next fewdys we will enjoy what we like the most. The Food, the microbiota and the immunity. Dr. Kverka is starting the FMI2025 conference!

👏 Gratulujeme Štěpánu Coufalovi z MBÚ k získání ceny Učené společnosti za rok 2025 v kategorii mladší vědecký pracovník. Cenu převzal 19. května v pražském Karolinu. Proč si Štěpán Coufal vybral imunologii? Více na webu 🔗 mbu.cas.cz/aktuality/ce... (foto: Pavel Coufal) #immunology

A few years back, we experimentally evolved a poorly growth-promoting strain of #Lplantarum and isolated strains with enhanced benefit in insects We then asked: how far can these benefits be optimized? Do they persist in well-fed mammals? 🦠🐭 Find out in our new paper now online! Thread 👇

#theconferencetoendallconferences - things are happening, there's so much of them I don't have time for posting ... the program took shape, (most) talks are assigned, issues on which we didn't agree got resolved, new emerged. On Tuesday we visited the place in woods and it was beautiful 😉

To the #Moon!!! Our new article summarizing our idea to send a satellite named #LUGO to the Moon to explore the Irregular Mare Patches and search for lava tunnels is out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1l2vGLWHGB...

Only 6 days left! Submit your abstract to #TMHMS25! marinesymbioses.eu/abstract/ Hope to see you there!

This will be a fantastic meeting 👇🏻 A little bird tells me that the abstract deadline has been extended so go for it! There will be plenty of opportunities for ECRs to present 🧫🧬🔬🧪

Afternoon session kicked off by Irma Schabussova with the talk ☝️ No brain? No problem. Bacterial vesicles still know how to talk to your immune system

Best short talk winners 🥳

#DayOfImmunology 2025 starting... @schwarzergnoto.bsky.social, Czech young immunologist, ČIS

Just 1 week to go! Celebrating the #DayofImmunology on 29.4. at @mbuavcr.bsky.social with GnotoCon! Following the Gut-brain axis, we are perfectly aligned with this years theme of Brain and Immunity 😃

Pathway analysis isn’t one-size-fits-all: what works for gene expression can mislead in metabolomics. This sharp piece explains why metabolite data require biological context, careful annotation, and new tools. “Metabolites are not genes” doi.org/10.1038/s422...
