🦠🎶 Gut microbes aren’t soloists—they’re an orchestra. New in @PNASNews from a multi-lab #TeamScience collaboration led by @kashyappurna: #enterochromaffin #cells integrate #microbial signals to tune #serotonin & #motility. ow.ly/obOU50ZH23V #ENSP #Microbiome

What we ingest matters beyond #nutrition 🍖🥘. U.S. #poison-center calls tied to #liver injury rose nearly 400%. This reinforces a question central to @BeyderLsab: how do non-nutritive dietary components shape our #health? ow.ly/BOl050ZAUyk
#sensory systems may follow a common rule: specificity first, integration later. Do gut mechanosensory signals follow the same path, from epithelial force sensing to symptom perception? #GutBrainAxis #Mechanosensation @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Just like the #gut, the #elephant 🐘#trunk is a master of multitasking—grasping, moving, and protecting with incredible precision. Both rely on complex mechanics to adapt and respond to their environments. ow.ly/IpVp50Zskij
WOW. Next generation of endoscopes!
Chinese researchers have developed a three-dimensional optical fiber gripper (OFG) that can manipulate opaque particles, irregular micromechanical components and diverse single-cell types. By controlling light input, the OFG can open, close and adjust its gripping force, generating forces more than 100,000 times greater than those of conventional optical tweezers. Published in the journal @Nature, the study could support future applications in life sciences and minimally invasive medicine.
🕷️ Nature’s mechanobiology! Did you know some spiders use a “ballista” mechanism to launch themselves 10x faster than F1 car and trap unsuspecting ants? 🐜🔬

Attenborough doesn't just document nature. He helped change how we understand it. Thank you and happy Birthday, Sir Attenborough.

After sketching out how PIEZO channels contribute to touch and proprioception, scientists are now using the channels as a tool to study internal organs, including the heart, bladder, uterus and kidney.
