6/ We are now studying the bacterial extracellular vesicle proteomes to learn more about their potential functions and to develop novel tools for targeted investigations. Stay tuned - preprint coming soon!
Talk about bacterial extracellular vesicles by @MikaelNiku at #MOVE2025. They are thought to mediate microbe-host interactions in the intestine and possibly beyond. We investigate the vesicle proteomes of the mammalian intestinal microbiota. 🧵
5/ Researchers at @UniOulu reported bacterial extracellular vesicles in the human amniotic fluid. This suggests that they may also stimulate the early development of the immune system.

Presenting our research on the effects of gestational antibiotics on offspring microbiota, immune system and growth, and on bacterial extracellular vesicle proteomes at @iuis_online#IUIS2025!
How does the maternal microbiota modulate fetal development? We compared fetal intestine, brain and placenta from germ-free and normal mice. We saw broad differences in gene expression, associated with known & novel microbial metabolites. Now @BMCBiology: https://t.co/Rk1Y2PqSHb
