New preprint on @medrxivpreprint.bsky.social from our 6-week RCT comparing two fermentable fibres with a non-fermentable control. We asked: • whether fibre effects depend on microbial fermentation • and whether microbiome differences explain variable responses 🔗 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Mechanistic insights into microbiome-dependent and personalized responses to dietary fibre in a randomized controlled trial

Dietary fiber supplementation can reduce cardiometabolic risk, but its effective use is limited by incomplete understanding of fibre-microbiome interactions and highly individualized responses. We tes...

I joined Dr. Karan Rajan to talk about the science of the gut microbiome, how it’s changed through industrialisation, how we can restore it, and the NiMe diet. Grateful, and humbled, to discuss the #microbiome on a channel with 2M followers. 🎥 Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb4d...

Great podcast with Anissa Armet PhD RD on our recent @cellpress.bsky.social about the 'Non-industrialized Microbiome Restore (NiMe) Diet'. Covers a lot of the science, but also how Anissa's personal journey with IBD inspired both the research and the diet itself.

ICYMI: New online! Diet-driven microbiome restoration associated with cardiometabolic benefits

It is hard to determine habitat adaptations in host-associated bacteria, e.g. because strains might be allochthonous or mislabeled. Here we present aurora, a gwas tool that identifies autochthonous strains and the genes associated with their habitats. doi.org/10.1186/s130...

A primary goal of microbial genome-wide association studies is identifying genomic variants associated with a particular habitat. Existing tools fail to identify known causal variants if the analyzed ...

I have been teaching classes on the gut #microbiome for almost 20 years and always struggled to have a good book to recommend. Finally there is one. Fergus Shanahan's "Fast Facts: The Gut Microbiome" provides expert insight, is brilliant, and it is free. doi.org/10.1159/isbn...

Very much to our surprise, a strain of Limosilactobacillus reuteri drives severe pathology in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Pathology was driven by a secondary metabolite that hyperactivates the AhR receptor. See our publication in Cell Reports. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
