New paper from our team 🧠🦠 After stroke, gut‑derived bacteria can migrate into the brain Blocking sympathetic tone ↓ gut permeability, ↓ brain bacterial load, and improves motor outcomes—without changing infarct size Congrats to Dr Alex Peh! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thank you for the recognition! Grateful for the support from @fzmarques.bsky.social and Malindi, PhD student, lead coordinator for the study. Also to High BP Foundation for the seed funding!

Congratulations Dr Lizzie Kleeman, Dr Carol Gubert, @anthonyjhannan.bsky.social & co-authors 👏👏👏 Thank you for the invitation for @rikeish.bsky.social and I to help with the #microbiome analysis requested by reviewers - a pleasure to work with you as always @natureportfolio.nature.com

🚀 Big milestone achieved! GRAINS-BP trial is officially underway as we’ve randomised our first participant. Huge thanks to @fzmarques.bsky.social, our collaborators, funders, and PhD student Malindi. 🙌 For more information and recruitment, please check out www.marqueslab.com/trials

Our latest paper is out in Cardiovascular Research We used a genetics approach to provide human evidence of gut-to-host crosstalk in how blood pressure is regulated Authors include Leticia Camargo Tavares, @mattsnelson.bsky.social @rikeish.bsky.social academic.oup.com/cardiovascre...

Our review on the gut-heart axis published in Circ Res is now out www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/... We cover gut #microbiome, 'leaky gut', foods & metabolites, +++ Congratulations @mattsnelson.bsky.social @rikeish.bsky.social and our co-authors 👏

🧠🦠Can the gut communicate with the brain to regulate BP? Our latest review explores how microbial metabolites (SCFAs) may regulate BP via the gut–brain axis. A promising new frontier for hypertension treatment. 📖 Read more: doi.org/10.1042/CS20...

Yes, #SciComm is really underestimated and many researchers are failing still (No you aren't "smarter" when using lots of jargon!) 🧪 make research accessible!

Why are microbiome studies poorly translated or reproducible? We wrote an editorial to highlight the importance of considering and minimizing confounder effect in gut microbiome studies. @fzmarques.bsky.social @monashbiol.bsky.social academic.oup.com/cardiovascre...

Another day, another paper 🙃 This paper was inspired by my journey as a cancer patient & the type of leader I am in the journey of trying to become A great read to start the year aiming to drive a more positive, equitable, and diverse research culture www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...
