Interesting new study, showing that the gut microbial metabolite ADP-heptose is produced by a consortium of gram negative microbes (e.g., Bacteroides) and associated with a rise in pre-leukemia cells and NF-κB signaling in aging mice. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I had the privilege of contributing to Issue 8 of STEM Dorado magazine, designed to spark curiosity in young children, distributed to all state schools in Barnet via the Barnet Council, and featured on the STEM Learning UK platform.
Here is my article on page 43:

Modeling the microbiome is complex, but metabolic interactions offer a path to better models 🦠 However, Scaling from singles to communities is still a challenge. Check this new paper about the Hits & Misses of community-scale metabolic models - rdcu.be/ehkVn
