“Our study shows that dialing up your protein intake in pursuit of better metabolic health is not a panacea,” said Babak Razani, M.D., Ph.D., professor of cardiology at Pitt.

PhD Chris Donnelly and his team at @donnelly_lab have found that the role of biomolecular condensates in ALS could point to new treatments. They’ve founded Confluence Therapeutics in hopes that their findings can help relieve patients' symptoms.

Congrats 👏 to Dr. @GraceLisiusMD for leading the paper in @iScience_CP studying plasma microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) 🩸🦠🧬 in patients with #COVID19 https://t.co/I3YgdZ2ci6
Simple ?: is it just #Covid or is there bacterial/fungal superinfection?
Answer not so simple... 🧵

[Georgios Kitsios @KitsiosMd]

Plasma biomarkers independently associated with #mcfDNA levels.
Possible that some of so-called "Cytokine Storm" we saw in #Covid was due to #microbiota or secondary infections?
We had seen something similar pre-covid @HYang84908151 https://t.co/Xg2xlFIvnH

[Delgoffe Lab @DelgoffeLab]

We #immunometabolism folks always talk about how metabolically demanding immune cell activation is, but my #SundayCuriosity is: has this ever been measured? Has anyone shown how many “calories” a T cell response requires/burns?

A lot of scientific discoveries and translational research happening here at Pitt! @PittResearch @PittTweet

[Pittsburgh Business Times @PghBizTimes]

For the first time in its more than 230-year history, the University of Pittsburgh has surpassed over $1 billion in annual research expenditures, joining just over a dozen national institutions that have done the same. https://t.co/5EKp9aqCpR

Early-stage investigators proposed innovative high-impact research ideas for the @NIHDirector’s New Innovator Award. See the projects the awardees will pursue: https://t.co/hQPzaylGYO #NIHHighRisk

[Swanson School of Engineering @PittEngineering]

Humans carry around trillions of microbes in and on their bodies. That’s a good thing. And someday, they might even act as our medicine. Tagbo Niepa received the @NIH New Innovator Award to develop tech that could make that possibility a reality: https://t.co/zt7uP71Oes
