#bacteria cause mutations in #cancer - but only if they stick to host cells. Brilliant study from @LarsVereecke lab in @Nature: https://t.co/WBAE3UBHqi
Our accompanying perspective with @kyannaouyang: https://t.co/HOPRduIMae
Lots of implications for new CRC prevention approaches!

@JasonSynaptic I would love to see user reviews on all manufacturer websites, like we have for everything else in life!

📢CALLING ALL MICROBIOLOGISTS📢

Do you use CFU assays?

Here is a new high-throughput, low-waste viability assay for microbes

All you need is agar media, pipette tips and a standard camera 🧫📸

@LDzierozynski Congrats!!

Remarkable! According to this paper humans almost became extinct: "Results showed that human ancestors went through a severe population bottleneck with about 1280 breeding individuals between around 930,000 and 813,000 years ago." h/t @LippiLab

It seems like sci-fi. They engineered bacteria to detect colon cancer.

Very excited to share this beautiful story by @ShailabShrestha describing his surprising discovery that cell division in C. difficile occurs via a mechanism distinct from previously characterized bacteria. Done in collaboration with the amazing @SGribaldo & Najwa Taib. 1/9

Out in @NatureCancer: @fyzashaikh , @DrCindySears , and I review the latest advancements in microbiome research with potential therapeutic impacts for cancer. https://t.co/X5gZOG33oA

Major, fatal errors found in the data and methods of a 2020 paper in @Nature, including millions of reads mis-identified as bacteria. The "cancer microbiome" in this study was simply not there. @abrahamgihawi @elapertea @YuchenGe1 @JenniferLu717 https://t.co/z5Aja84kiR

📍A new #COVID wave is clearly emerging in US, all while immunity levels are waning and new boosters aren’t even close to arriving yet. You don’t need another original Omicron winter wave to cause disruption—Delta variant killed a lot in Aug-Oct 2021. Plus don’t risk #LongCovid.
