Scientists showed that depression was more common among current and former smokers than among never-smokers over the course of their lifetime. In addition, a dose-response relationship was observed. 👉 nako.de/en/press-rel...

🥁 NEW Our study on infant gut microbiome and #straintransmission is now published in @nature.com: doi.org/10.1038/s415... 1/10

I'm very happy to share our latest manuscript published today in @nature.com !! ➡️ doi.org/10.1038/s415... We analyzed data from over 34,000 participants in the US and UK, revealing strong associations between specific gut bacteria and markers of cardiometabolic health and dietary habits.

1️⃣2️⃣ top institutions. One goal: advance early disease interception in Berlin. The Einstein Center for Early Disease Interception brings new technologies together to detect disease long before symptoms occur. We sat down with two of its speakers.
