Milk-derived casein glycomacropeptide improves colonic mucus function under Western-style diet feeding in a sialylation-dependent manner
The colonic mucus layer is the primary interface between the host and the gut microbiota. It serves both as an ecological niche for bacteria and a bar…

New Preprint Alert! 🌍🧬
We’re thrilled to share our latest study tackling one of the biggest question..
"How many prokaryotic species, genera, and deeper lineages actually exist on Earth?"

"How many prokaryotic species, genera, and deeper lineages actually exist on Earth?"
The team's first preprint is out!
Led by
@vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social & @omaistrenko.bsky.social , we asked a question (almost) as old as microbiology: how many prokaryotic species exist on Earth? More specifically, how much diversity is "hiding" in existing metagenomic data?
A 🧵.

Had a wonderful opportunity to attend the Infection Biology Across Scales workshop at Umeå University! The event, organized by EMBL, SciLifeLab, and MIMS, brought together researchers to explore cutting-edge advancements in microbiome research, multi-omics, mucus biology, antimicrobial resistance.
Opening of the Infection Biology Across Scales workshop in Umeå on 3-4 February. The workshop is organised by @embl.org, SciLifeLab and @mimsumea.bsky.social, focusing on exploring complementary platforms and capabilities of the 3 organizations in light of the most important scientific challenges.
