Out Now! IL-1 family signalling drives mucosal defence against systemic Candida albicans infection #MicroSky

Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature. Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Happy to see this published! A fantastic collaboration with Yolanda Sanz and her team highlighting the importance of the gut microbiota and immunometabolism in obesity. Check out the paper 👉 @iatacsic.bsky.social @cicbiogune.bsky.social @anguitalab.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Gut microbiota and immunometabolism in obesity

The gut microbiota plays a central role in modulating both immunity and metabolism. Obesity-associated microbiota configuration is a critical driver of persistent inflammatory activation and immune...

Meta-analysis of gut microbiome reveals patterns of dysbiosis in colorectal cancer patients

Introduction. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumour in which dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is a contributing factor in the development of cancer. However, the species composition and species-specific changes in the gut microbiome related to CRC still require comprehensive investigation. Hypothesis. There is a significant difference in gut microbiome between CRC patients and healthy individuals. Aim. The microbiome-based association test methods are used for the association between the microbiome and host phenotypes, and linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis is...

Online Now: Candida albicans synergizes with Fusobacterium nucleatum in colorectal cancer progression via the Flo9-RadD interaction

Candida albicans synergizes with Fusobacterium nucleatum in colorectal cancer progression via the Flo9-RadD interaction

How does other types of microbe like fungi influence tumor-promoting role of Fusobacterium nucleatum? In this study, Li et al. establish that commensal fungi facilitate translocation of pro-tumor bacteria across mucus barrier to drive colorectal cancer (CRC) progression, revealing a cross-kingdom collaboration between fungi and bacteria.

🚨 New paper alert! Our team at CIC bioGUNE has just published a new study in "Immunology" exploring how adjuvants can induce innate immune memory and reshape hematopoiesis. Let’s dive in 👇 #InnateMemory #TrainedImmunity #Immunology @anguitalab.bsky.social @cicbiogune.bsky.social 🧵1/6

Stimulating immune cells in vitro is a common experimental lab model. We profiled 150K blood immune cells treated with 11 different stimuli to compare the effects. The data are freely available for researchers. See the preprint for our findings and to access the data 🧪 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
