Happy Friday #Nashville! The uptick we saw in #coronavirus cases last week is continuing, with average %positives now >8%. Overall cases are still low, but let's work together to prevent further increases. Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend☀️🌸 🌿

Good Morning #Nashville. While #coronavirus remains low, we see a slight uptick in cases, with our moving average %positives now at 5%. Something to keep an eye on 🧐 Stay safe and enjoy the weekend 🌸

@annetkiraboc1 @VI4Research @FrontGenetics Yes! And if we can somehow do research that combines the microbiome and COVID, we will top the citation charts next time for sure 😆

Excited to have made the top 10 for highly cited papers, not once, but twice! Thanks @VI4Research

We found that inter-correlations between bacterial taxa increased in obesity, suggesting altered community dynamics. Surprisingly, salivary microbiota provided a more distinct pattern of differentiation between obese & lean individuals than fecal microbiota.

We are interested in the #metabolite 2-AAA, which associates with #T2D and #atherosclerosis. We found that knocking out a key gene in the 2-AAA pathway leads to #mitochondrial dysfunction; perhaps helping to explain the link between 2-AAA and disease.

So, targeting plasma kynurenine directly is unlikely to be effective in disease treatment, but interrogation of SH2B3 pathways during inflammation could identify novel causal cardiometabolic disease mechanisms. @MinooBagheri1 @JDMosley_Moses

Known genetic regulators of kynurenine like IDO, TDO and SLC7A5 did NOT associate with disease, but a missense variant in SH2B3/LNK associates with both kynurenine levels and with disease...

What a nice way to be welcomed back from maternity leave: New paper published today @SciReports rdcu.be/crdLy We examined genetic predictors of the inflammatory metabolite kynurenine, and found associations with cardiometabolic disease, but only with some predictors...
