One week of fatty eating cuta key brain protein, PQBP1, in mice.
That protein edits genes that build brain-cell connections, which weakened.

There's an explanation towards the end of the article. In low fibre diets, the colonic microbiota must turn to mucin to survive. This leads to thinner mucus layers #inmice I would recommend many of Mahesh Desai's papers www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
A Dietary Fiber-Deprived Gut Microbiota Degrades the Colonic Mucus Barrier and Enhances Pathogen Susceptibility
Regular consumption of dietary fiber helps prevent erosion of the intestinal mucus
barrier by the gut microbiome, blunting pathogen infection and reducing the incidence
of colitis.

Big news at IGFL! We’re thrilled to have two MSCA postdocs this year!
@ludivinebertonnier.bsky.social (Heude lab) dives into sarcomagenesis through neck development.
@luciebernard.bsky.social (Leulier lab) uncovers how early-life nutrition shapes immunity.
Exciting science ahead!
