What are we not seeing in the microbiome? 🤔 Metagenomics tells us who’s there—but not what surrounds them. That’s a huge blind spot in microbial ecology. Let me explain. 🧵

🚨 Preprint update Excited to share our updated preprint on the biochemical ecology of recurrent UTI. 🧬 #Metagenomics + #metabolomics 🧪 Lipid biomarkers for active UTI (AUC = 0.91) ⚠️ DCA as a predictor of recurrence 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2024... #UTI #Microbiome #Metabolomics #PrecisionMedicine

TODAY Are you interested in learning more about the urobiome? Join the CAIRIBU U-RIG Research Hour to hear talks from Seth Reasoner, titled "Pathogen Evolution in Neurogenic Bladder" and Katy Patras, titled "The Vaginal Microbiota and Colonization by Uropathogens."

NEXT MONTH Join Urobiome 2025 on February 24th, 2025 in San Diego, CA. Learn more about the state of urobiome research from expert investigators! More information HERE: https://buff.ly/3PHUl0W

THIS WEEK Are you interested in learning about transitional care? Join this CAIRIBU Catalyst Conversation to hear from Dr. Kristin Ebert. Her talk is titled "Navigating the Journey: Enhancing Transitional Care for Urology Patients." More info: https://buff.ly/3Wtazij

Don't forget to submit an abstract to the 10th Annual Duke University Multidisciplinary Benign Urology Research Symposium before the deadline on March 4th! Submit here: https://buff.ly/4ggUSSc

This is amazing!!!! Congratulations!!!! news.utdallas.edu/alumni/howar...

I introduce to you Dr. Molina!!! Congratulations Jon!! You did a great job!!

The GLP-1 family of drugs have anti-inflammatory effects independent of weight loss. 2 new studies shed light on the mechanisms —brain-gut-GLP axis blocks inflammation induced by TLRs (toll-like receptor) www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

Harvard scientists are leaving academia for the private sector to fast-track biomedical breakthroughs. Michael Mina (eMed), Douglas Melton (Vertex), Stuart Schreiber (Arena Bioworks) cite funding delays & admin hurdles as key reasons. #BiomedicalResearch www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/01/harv...

I was today years old when i learned about the mixOmics R package… omg

so proud of Adwaita Parab and Arnold Salazar Baylor College of Medicine presenting their work on #Bladder #organoids #ifrd1 #bladderProteostasis

must mention that our dinner at Zarletti Milwaukee was fantastic 😋

Outstanding annual #CAIRIBU meeting in #MilwaukeeWI. excellent Basic, Translational, and Clinical Sciences research in #Urology #Urogynecology #bladder health #Aging #bladder #Immunology

Good morning, @mikeneugent.bsky.social! (A year ago, Mike and I started spontaneously our coffee greeting thread on X, and, obviously now we are transferring it here)

Where did November go?

Hey #metabolomics friends! What is your favorite open-source tool for deconvoluting Waters MSe data?

Amazing work from the lab of Sheng Xu in our UCSD Institute of Engineering in Medicine just published in Nature Biomedical Engineering. This tiny wearable patch matched results from blood pressure cuffs and arterial lines — validated in more than 100 patients! today.ucsd.edu/story/resear...

Why is preterm birth risk doubled with maternal UTI? It depends on the immune response. We found distinct immune signatures in a UTI-associated preterm birth mouse model. In a human cohort from @AShea_Lab, urine cytokine levels could predict preterm birth. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This will me my fist blueet! Microbial N-Acyl lipids have been shown to regulate glucose, pain etc among other things. Therefore Helena, Vincent and Martijn asked the question - are there more and if so what types? And boy did they find some www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here is a second bleetorial about a paper we recently preprinted. Here @shipei-xing.bsky.social wanted to find a solution to be able to re-use data in the public domain with MS1 data only - LC-MS and imaging mass spectrometry data. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Ok a third bleetorial or skeetorial of another preprint. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... in this case Nina, our exposome expert, Kine, our expert pharmacist, Corinna, the MS/MS guru, wanted to identify medication exposures from untargeted metabolomics data. Why? - aren’t there good medical records?

This drug repurposing project for the clearance of intracellular pathogens - led by @ronni.bsky.social - is now published in ASC Infectious Diseases. 🤩 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Is it odd for assistant professor job applications to ask for official transcripts from grad school… or even undergrad? … asking for a friend.

Excited to share our latest study presenting a new skin-derived isolate collection demonstrating extensive antimicrobial activity and uncharacterized BGCs. This was a long-term and huge team effort led by Thy Nguyen, Shelby Sandstrom, and @raufs.bsky.social . #MicroSky #secmet #skinmicrobiome

This seems to be one: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Symbiosis nerds! Some of you might have seen a smattering of recent posts about papers in PLoS Biology, but it's worth looking at the entire special issue, called Symbiosis Across the Tree of Life (edited by Richards and Moran). There are so many interesting reviews, comments, etc. type things here!

Applications are open for the Microbial Population Biology GRS and GRC! The GRS is a fun day for grad students and postdocs to network before the full GRC starts, and is co-chaired this year by me and Laura Suttenfield Get your applications in by Jan 15! #evosky 🦠🧪 www.grc.org/microbial-po...

👋 Welcome new folks! We're a microbiology lab @UArizona working to culture the 'unculturable' microbes that make up most of life on Earth. Check out our blog where we share our culture-hunting adventures, academia insights, and lab positions: uncultured.carinilab.com 🦠🧫 #UofA #microbiology #MicroSky

🧵1/3 Take a look at our most recent #preprint from The De Nisco Lab cataloging the interaction between #biochemical #ecology and #microbial ecology in the urinary #microbiome of #postmenopausal women with recurrent #UTI www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What a great moment captured by Antonia Bruno! Great talk by Seth Bordenstein @symbionticism.bsky.social and Q&A moderated by Omar Rota-Stabelli!!

I think I’m going to chill here for a bit.

I am looking for a graduate student and a postdoc to join my group! We are a computational group working on understanding evolution in natural populations with a large emphasis on the microbiome. Please get in touch by dm or email! garud.eeb.ucla.edu

I was wondering

Got my flu shot and covid booster yesterday -- don't forget to get your own dose that sweet Nobel-winning mRNA this fall! 💉⚕️🏅
