How do gut pathogens establish themselves, escape from the intestinal lumen, and traverse the colonic mucus to reach the host epithelium? My PhD study from @BruceVallance lab shows sialic acid facilitates this process! @PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Finally out! This work describing a genetic system for a very important and cool gut commensal has been a labor of love. Massive amounts of work by @lauren282012, Per Malkus & @ValdiviaLab. Special thanks to @barton_lab and Lawrence David’s for being most excellent collaborators.
📢Out now in @NatureMicrobiol:
A genetic system for Akkermansia muciniphila reveals a role for mucin foraging in gut colonization and host sterol biosynthesis gene expression
By Lauren Davey, Raphael Valdivia & colleagues.

When I hear men worshipping guns and talking about how there’s nothing that will stop them from defending their family, my mind goes to Naaman in the Bible. Do you remember Naaman? He was a great military leader, and he also had leprosy.

A sitting US senator is celebrating a child wearing a shirt called “guns and 69,” which features sexually explicit and misogynistic messaging, desecrates the flag, and glorifies a weapon used to murder children and educators in American schools.
This culture is killing us.

In America, if you're a wealthy vulture capitalist with over $250,000 in uninsured deposits at a loosely regulated bank the federal government will guarantee that your money is safe in a weekend. If you have no health insurance and get cancer, you're on your own. Unacceptable.

In a recent poll taken by people who hate baseball, 100% said they would love to see an umpire end a game in the most exciting situation. #letthekidsplay?

Work at @ValdiviaLab in Duke Immunology and @DukeMicrobiome @DukeMedSchool announced as part of a new initiative to tackle emerging pathogens
Today HHMI is announcing a commitment of $100 million to the Emerging Pathogens Initiative. The new effort’s research will target preparedness for future emerging pathogens.
