I enjoyed contributing to the @ilsieurope.bsky.social Healthy Ageing Task Force. Leonie and Thomas have done a great job summarising workshop findings on what's needed to develop nutritional interventions that support healthy ageing.

Over 7M people in the UK are estimated to live with #CKD. Researchers at #COIRM found a #gut #microbiome toxin in #CKD patients, p-cresol sulfate, damages the blood-brain barrier risking stroke & cognitive decline, but promising drugs may block this. More here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🧵 on our (@drsimonmcarthur.bsky.social) work showing the mechanism through which the microbiome-associated metabolite p-cresol sulfate damages the blood-brain barrier in chronic kidney disease (CKD). #microbiomesky #gutbrainaxis
Huge thank you to David Vauzour at UEA for quantifying pCS in patient samples, and colleagues from The William Harvey Research Institute for providing us with patient samples.

Systems-level microbiome research only works when it's collaborative.
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are more prone to brain bleeds and stroke than the general population. We think that use of EGFR inhibitors (already used clinically) in these patients could protect them from some of the neuro effects of CKD.

Translational gut-brain axis work. :)

Brand new paper from our group! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... with @bugsinyourguts.bsky.social, looking at the role of the #gutbrainaxis and the #bloodbrainbarrier in #chronickidneydisease, and how we could protect it.

Only started the work in 2016 - I blame (hand waves) everything... 1/5
Cerebrovascular damage caused by the gut microbe/host co-metabolite p-cresol sulfate is prevented by blockade of the EGF receptor
The gut microbiota-brain axis has been associated with the pathogenesis of numerous disorders, but the mechanism(s) underlying these links are generally poorly understood. Accumulating evidence ind...
