Another fantastic study from @lisamaierlab.bsky.social showing how non-antibiotics impact gut ecosytem. Congratulations @ghammeranne.bsky.social et al.!

Scientists' discovery could help protect against PFAS chemicals
Cambridge University scientists say a certain species of microbe in the human gut can absorb PFAS.

Excited to share some key details on our latest research in @natmicrobiol.nature.com reporting intra-cellular accumulation of #PFAS (aka forever chemicals) by certain human gut bacteria. #microsky #mevosky #microbiomesky

🚨Out now!

Human gut bacteria bioaccumulate forever chemicals, in intracellular aggregates and colonization of gnotobiotic mice with these bioaccumulating bacteria increases faecal PFAS excretion. @kiranrpatil.bsky.social

Gut bacteria to the rescue! 🦠✨
They can shield us from harmful chemicals—and the latest study from Kiran Patil's lab (@kiranrpatil.bsky.social)
uncovers how. We’re proud to have contributed to this exciting work!

Researchers in the Patil Lab have discovered that certain species of gut bacteria can absorb PFAS. Boosting these species in our gut microbiome could be a new way to protect us from the harmful effects of PFAS.

Latest study from the lab is online today (and another will be out tomorrow, stay tuned:)). We profiled effect of >1700 chemicals (drugs, pesticides,...) on secretion of amines (involved in gut-brain and gut-immune axis. ) by human gut bacteria. Brilliant work by @skamrad.bsky.social and Tara Davis

Stephan Kamrad and Tara Davis in the Patil lab at the MRC Toxicology Unit have identified that some drugs and environmental contaminants alter gut bacterial amine metabolism.

“Manufactured Chemicals and Children’s Health..” – an excellent evidence-based case in N Eng J Med. Despite overwhelming epidemiological evidence (Note: randomised clinical trials are obviously unethical), less than 20% chemicals are tested for toxicity.
