Foundational study suggesting a connection between gut dysbiosis and the development of ALS by @EranElinav and MIST collaborators @uniofgothenburg @gunnarchansson

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

The development of ALS may be modulated by the gut microbiome, according to a Nature report. The study is the first known report of a functional link between the microbiome and the neurodegenerative disease. https://t.co/7dZo7wKoa9

Dr. Knoop, @kathrynated Instructor in Gastroenterology @wustlmed, received a MIST Scholar Award to understand how breastmilk protects against gut-residing pathogens translocating resulting in bloodstream infections in early life. Congratulations Dr. Knoop!

[Mucosal Immunology Studies Team @TeamMucosal]

Dr. Pelaseyed @thaher, Wenner-Gren Research Fellow at @uniofgothenburg received a MIST scholar award to determine how surface glycoproteins called transmembrane mucins help epithelial cells sense the gut microbiota. Check out his lab page for details. https://t.co/Q3d4vrrDjj
