PhD Chris Donnelly and his team at @donnelly_lab have found that the role of biomolecular condensates in ALS could point to new treatments. They’ve founded Confluence Therapeutics in hopes that their findings can help relieve patients' symptoms. pi.tt/condensates

Congrats 👏 to Dr. @GraceLisiusMD for leading the paper in @iScience_CP studying plasma microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) 🩸🦠🧬 in patients with #COVID19 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3796… Simple ?: is it just #Covid or is there bacterial/fungal superinfection? Answer not so simple... 🧵

Plasma biomarkers independently associated with #mcfDNA levels. Possible that some of so-called "Cytokine Storm" we saw in #Covid was due to #microbiota or secondary infections? We had seen something similar pre-covid @HYang84908151 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3388…

We #immunometabolism folks always talk about how metabolically demanding immune cell activation is, but my #SundayCuriosity is: has this ever been measured? Has anyone shown how many “calories” a T cell response requires/burns?

Humans carry around trillions of microbes in and on their bodies. That’s a good thing. And someday, they might even act as our medicine. Tagbo Niepa received the @NIH New Innovator Award to develop tech that could make that possibility a reality: news.engineering.pitt.edu/gu…
