In our project, we want to find a definitive cure for #IBD 🏥 using an innovative strategy🧬🔬 We explain this in our latest infographic and in this tweetorial. Get on board! 👇🏻 
We are researching #IBD because it affects millions of people worldwide, especially young adults 👦🏻👧🏻 Moreover, we target two of the most frequent IBD subtypes: #Crohns disease and ulcerative #colitis 👇🏻
We focus on the main issue of #IBD: inflammation 🔥 In this condition, the patient’s immune system attacks their #intestine as if it were an external agent.
How long do #neutrophils live? Are they all equal or do they adapt to tissues?

This is a finding in line with our previous work by @Casanova_Acebes @NicolasAvilaJA & Jackson Li @JExpMed 2018
Just published: Team uses mNGS + culture-based techniques + negative controls 👉 Identify fungi + bacteria in complex communities in the first pass meconium (stool) of infants☝️Indicates that the neonatal gut microbiome starts to form in the womb: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
2/2 The organisms they identified colonizing the fetal #intestine prior to birth 👉 were identified in the meconium of both term-born and #preterm newborns☝️And machine learning suggested that #fungal gut communities develop in complexity w/ advancing gestational age at birth.
3/3 Quote from paper 👉 “The demonstration of live #microorganisms in the #newborn gut represents a monumental shift from the sterile #womb hypothesis that dominated perinatal biology for the last century...”
