Very happy to share our latest publication unravelling how the #ERstress sensor ATF6 stirs up trouble (and tumors) in #colorectalcancer. ATF6 drives CRC by reshaping lipid #metabolism and the intestinal #microbiota. A huge thank you to all co-authors! #lifesciences www.nature.com/articles/s42...

nature.comATF6 activation alters colonic lipid metabolism causing tumour-associated microbial adaptation - Nature MetabolismThe transcription factor ATF6 causes an enrichment in long-chain fatty acids in the colonic epithelium, which leads to changes in the gut microbiota and contributes to the development of colorectal ca...

I recently had the pleasure of a short stay at the University of Gothenburg, hosted by Elisabeth Nyström. Many thanks to Liz and everyone in the Mucin Biology groups for the warm welcome and stimulating scientific exchange. Looking forward to continuing our collaboration! #mucusmatters

Researchers identified a #cellularmechanism that alters the #gutmicrobiome in a way that promotes #cancer. The study could demonstrate the increased formation of long-chain #fattyacids – the preferred food of certain cancer-promoting #bacteria: go.tum.de/864170 📷A.Eckert

This was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Happy to share our latest paper showing that intestinal inflammation (IL10-/-) + an UPRER diva protein (ATF6) = a perfect storm for colon cancer: Susceptibility to inflammatory bowel diseases promotes invasive carcinomas in a murine model of ATF6-driven colon cancer. academic.oup.com/ecco-jcc/art...

Happy to see this finally published 🙌 Thanks to the editors and reviewers for the constructive process 😎

The colonic mucus barrier & sentinel goblet cells protect the distal gut from microbial challenges. Johansson, @gobletcellguy.bsky.social et al show that microbial colonization drives sequential development of both of these barrier mechanisms in the pre-weaning intestine. rupress.org/jem/article/...

It‘s been a pleasure to host @mucusman.bsky.social as a guest speaker for the CRC1371 #microbiomesignatures here at #TUM. Two days filled with productive and fun #gobletcell exchanges and a fantastic talk on #mucus #autphagy #erstress and #antibiotics. Thanks for making the trip Shai! #mucusmatters

Better late than never...finally made the move to #bluesky! I am back from #maternityleave and excited to dive into the science world again, and catch up on #mucus updates ✌️ I've probably missed lots 😱 #mucusmatters #academicchatter #academicmum
