#Microbiota-driven
Did you know there are 3 mechanisms for hunger, and one is gut microbiota driven?

Despite cuts in cancer research funding, advances continue.

We are so close to eradicating cancer.

A single bacterial dose from frog gut microbiota eliminated tumors in mice.

We need funds to continue research. This is personal.

Naturally Occurring Bacteria Completely Eradicate Tumors in Mice With a Single Dose
A bacterium from frog gut microbiota eliminated tumors in mice by selectively colonizing tumors and triggering both direct cell killing and immune-driven anticancer responses.

My friend @chrischirp.bsky.social pointed out I can't just lazily paste links to a paper of interest without any explanation! We all buy into gut microbiota shaping immune populations and programmes, but this study adds huge granularity, by anatomical region and subset

Mind over microbiota: neurons call the shots in the gut - Nature Metabolism
Although the gut microbiota can influence brain function, evidence for brain activity-driven changes in microbial communities is limited. Here, the authors provide direct support for bidirectional communication in the brain-to-gut axis by demonstrating that modulation of hypothalamic circuits can rapidly alter gut microbiota composition.

Nature research paper: Microbiota-mediated induction of beige adipocytes in response to dietary cues

Microbiota-mediated induction of beige adipocytes in response to dietary cues - Nature
In mice, a low-protein diet leads to a gut-microbiota-driven remodelling of adipose tissue towards brown fat, showing that gut microorganisms have a role in detecting and responding to a lack of protein.
