The Weichhart Lab has a broad interest in the molecular and metabolic regulation of innate immunity and inflammation. #Immunometabolism

Aging 🧓 alters metabolite levels, but not core metabolic fluxes!
Impressive work from @sfb_immunomet postdoc Connor Jankowski (PhD thesis) just out in Cell Metabolism 👏

Aged mice exhibit widespread metabolic changes but preserved major fluxes
Metabolic dysregulation is a hallmark of aging, but how metabolic pathway activity (flux) changes with age has yet to be broadly assessed. Here, Jankowski et al. measure metabolite concentrations and ...

Neues aus der Mikrobiom-Forschung!
Archaeen – kaum bekannte Mitbewohner in unserem Darm – senden winzige Bläschen, um mit ihrer Umwelt zu kommunizieren.
Ein Team der Med Uni Graz hat das jetzt erstmals detailliert beschrieben. Veröffentlicht in Nature Communications ➡️ https://bit.ly/47gnl9R.

Paul Ettel, MD-PhD student in the lab has been awarded a prestigious Early Career Fellowship Grant from the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR). FSR will support Paul’s research on the role of neutrophils and arginine metabolism in granuloma formation in sarcoidosis. Congratulations!

Amitava Sinha via the @preprintclub.bsky.social‬ wrote a nice Journal Club article on a preprint by from the Angelo lab @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social that describes spatial immunometabolic zonation in tuberculosis granulomas: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Spatial immunometabolic zonation in tuberculosis granulomas - Nature Reviews Immunology
A preprint by McCaffrey and Delmastro et al. delineates distinct immunometabolic zones of tuberculosis granulomas and reports that hypoxia is a key driver of immune subversion.

📢 Big day for archaeal microbiology!

Today, we jointly shed light on the mysterious world of archaeal extracellular vesicles from human gut archaea - published in @natcomms.nature.com ‬ in parallel with our precious colleagues around @mkrupovic.bsky.social 🇦🇹🤝🇫🇷.
