Happy to see this finally published 🙌 Thanks to the editors and reviewers for the constructive process 😎
The colonic mucus barrier & sentinel goblet cells protect the distal gut from microbial challenges. Johansson, @gobletcellguy.bsky.social et al show that microbial colonization drives sequential development of both of these barrier mechanisms in the pre-weaning intestine. rupress.org/jem/article/...

In our lates review, we explore new insights into the gut-joint axis, a connection is not absolute. A causal role for the microbiota is context-dependent, and arthritis can also arise independently through sterile mechanisms: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kkn55Eb0R...

pks+ E. coli adhesins—The fine line between good and evil
Gut bacteria could promote colorectal cancer by generating genotoxins. In a recent issue of Nature, Jans et al. identified bacterial adhesion as an additional determinant for the genotoxic activity of colibactin-producing E. coli on the colon epithelium, which could be targeted to mitigate bacteria-associated DNA damage.
