Just out! Results of an incredible effort 👏 by @simonerenwick.bsky.social to demonstrate how different gut microbes and #gutmicrobiomes respond to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). Many more microbes respond to HMOs than you might think! Give it a read… links.springernature.com/f/a/DF0RtJaQ...

With #norovirus in the news everywhere, here is a timely new paper in collaboration with @drlarsbode.bsky.social showing reduced virus replication in 8 different #enteroid lines treated with #HMO 2'FL! The surprise? Enteroids from babies did NOT show this effect! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39791912/

Out in @science.org today: It won’t take much for H5N1 to become a massive problem for human health! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Time to act was yesterday: @who.int @cdc.gov

A single mutation in bovine influenza H5N1 hemagglutinin switches specificity to human receptors

In 2024, several human infections with highly pathogenic clade 2.3.4.4b bovine influenza H5N1 viruses in the United States raised concerns about their capability for bovine-to-human or even human-to-h...

Human Milk Institute at UC San Diego@humanmilkinstitute.bsky.social · 2y ago

UC San Diego Human Milk Institute (HMI) Welcomes Strategic Advisory Board! hmi.ucsd.edu/about-us/str... A powerhouse of experts committed to advancing our mission to transform the approach to lifelong health for all people through human milk.

This will me my fist blueet! Microbial N-Acyl lipids have been shown to regulate glucose, pain etc among other things. Therefore Helena, Vincent and Martijn asked the question - are there more and if so what types? And boy did they find some www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The microbiome diversifies N-acyl lipid pools - including short-chain fatty acid-derived compounds

N -acyl lipids are important mediators of several biological processes including immune function and stress response. To enhance the detection of N -acyl lipids with untargeted mass spectrometry-based...

Retracted at last! - Fructooligosaccharides are NOT naturally present in human milk! Fructose and Fucose are NOT the same! This comes after our letter in 2022 pointed out that "Fructooligosaccharides are not the same as Fucosylated Human Milk Oligosaccharides" www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...
