Microbiota impact peanut allergy Saliva & jejunum harbor peanut-degrading bacteria(Rothia) that metabolize immunodominant PN allergens. Mice colonized w/Rothia show ⬇️anaphylaxis & allergic patients w/better PN tolerance have ⬆️abundance of these bacteria www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Microbial metabolism of food allergens determines the severity of IgE-mediated anaphylaxis

Sánchez-Martínez and Rondeau et al. reveal that human oral microbes degrade peanut allergens, thereby reducing IgE recognition, systemic availability, mast cell activation, and anaphylaxis. This study...

🧵 1/6 Vaccinating allergic patients carries risks: the patient’s IgE recognizes allergen extracts and can trigger severe adverse reactions. To address this, Dr. Roy Patterson (1970s) proposed an innovative approach: modifying the extracts by polymerizing them with glutaraldehyde.

Preprint out! By controlling growth, via RNAP, we control the entire cellular machinery, and tune the cellular context into distinct, stable states. See how NOT gates behave! Kudos to @angeles-hg.bsky.social and @mirobueno.bsky.social 🔗https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.19.695408v1

Growth control as a central regulator for tuning the cellular context

The cellular context interacts with genetic circuits, decisively defining their performance. However, contextual dependencies (the interplay between the host and the circuit) are often difficult to en...
