To understand how food molecules shape the gut #microbiome and human health, we need to go beyond species abundance and adopt a mechanistic, system-level view powered by #NetworkScience Happy to share our first concrete step in this direction: 📄 shorturl.at/XkyUM

Beautiful work from Salvo, who joined our Lab this April. Looking forward to mapping how food molecules modulate our health together!
Have you ever wondered how protein interactions change across tissues and over time? #networkmedicine #development #aging 👇 Check what we found under the incredible mentorship of #menchelab & @andre-rendeiro.com : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Incredibly honored to see our work featured in the New England Journal of Medicine. Grateful to an outstanding team and collaborators who made this possible. A milestone we’ll never forget. @mgbresearch.bsky.social @harvardmed.bsky.social @nunetsi.bsky.social
Food contains more than 139,000 molecules, which influence nearly half the human proteome. Systematic analysis of food–chemical interactions can potentially advance nutrition science and drug discovery. Learn more in a new Review Article: nej.md/3EEDtq4 #MedSky #EndoSky #GastroSky

Thank you, Ilaria Iacoviello , for the great interview & your commitment to science! And to Fondazione Leonardo for making it possible. As for @menicgiulia.bsky.social , hearing her say these things fills me with pride every day. youtu.be/SkHrAXtvGXc

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

There's a wide range of "ultra-processed foods." A recent Nature Foods paper zoomed in on this www.nature.com/articles/s43... and the graph rankings are shown below from @sciam.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/whic...

A paper in Nature Food presents GroceryDB, a dataset with more than 50,000 food items sold at major grocery stores in the US that uses big data to provide information on processing—categorized by store, food category and price range. https://go.nature.com/3E7DMZu 🔒

This seems to be a very practical resource. Love it. Important as the body of evidence linking consumption of ultra processed foods to adverse health outcomes is increasingly robust.
Over 50,000 food items, 1,000+ ingredients analyzed, and one mission: helping you choose less processed foods, highlighted in Nature Food: 🍎🛒 @karapedsgastrodoc.bsky.social @menicgiulia.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...
