Our latest work by Jennifer Pryor published in @ajpgi This not only provides insight into how the microbiota may influence responses to food, but also models the duodenal eosinophil responses seen in non-Celiac gluten sensitivity and functional dyspepsia.journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

@MarkPimentelMD Do you think that NAC is working solely as a mucolytic? It's a powerful antioxidant also.

Just published! This paper is a game changer for patients. 1. CdtB causes #IBS 2. Animal model shows #IBS is #SIBO 3. Rifaximin+NAC beats rifaximin in randomized trial. 4. E. Coli and H2S producers are key. Lays groundwork for our human study this fall. nature.com/articles/s4159…

@PhilipAhern @arjunrajlab Australia brought in a scheme for funding innovative ideas in their main health grant program, irrespective of track record or prelim data but poor adoption by peer reviewers, limited $ in funding pool and grad return to focus on capability means it hasn't really worked.

@arjunrajlab I wonder a lot about how many major breakthroughs would make it through the barrier of grant peer review (bacterial repeat sequence grant lacks Significance etc.). Is there a way we can fix this?

@PhilipAhern @wmuee Gah, I am about to give an immunology lecture about this today and now I will be obsessing about not knowing how to answer this. 🤔

@wmuee Probably! Could maybe mismatch to a level seen across mice with different twin pairs. But, I presumed this was maybe already known, or answerable theoretically. I just don't know enough about alloreactivity to know.

Ignorant question: Would Zinkernagel & Doherty's classic findings show up using human cells, or would alloreactivity mask the requirement for TCR/MHC matching (i.e. did it depend on the level of mismatch seen in different mouse strains; assuming 1970s knowledge re these things)?
