Feeling blue... and proud🎀! 😆Our #DDW2024 abstract Tu1901
▶️showed a significant proportion of differences in microbial taxonomic and functional profiles amongst pts with #IBD or #IBS , which can be associated with circulating inflammatory protein signatures. #Gitwitter

Science clear. A very serious problem. But I still have hope we will take sufficient action. This means no NEW coal and gas projects as we transition to renewables. If we don’t do what we must, it doesn’t bear thinking about for our children and theirs… #ClimateConcern #climate

Bye, bye #DDW2024 and all my GI friends there. Heading home to NC via train. One of the great advantages of going to/from DDW in DC via train for an architecture lover like myself is to pass through one of the grandest railway stations in the U.S.: Washington DC Union Station:

An exhausting 4 days of presentations, moderating, and meetings at #DDW2024 but best of all was the incredible sessions on nutrition, including mechanistic data and clinical trials.

#MyFavAbstract 785 #DDW2024 : Single cell transcriptomics reveals #mast cell heterogeneity in human gut, with 5 distinct subsets (MC1-MC5) differing in cytokine, chemokine, & transcription factor profiles. #IBS mast cells lack MC1 & MC4, with increased IGHE+ plasma cells & B cells

#MyFavAbstract 783 #DDW2024 : Slower gut transit time in IBS linked to altered microbiome, increased protein degradation & inflammation. Methanobrevibacter & Akkermansia abundance higher, butyrate-producers lower. #gitwitter
