Very excited to report on our lab’s unexpected adventure into subtyping cancer cachexia by way of anatomy, where we study the evolution of the bodies (not the genomes!) of patients with cancer during profound weight loss. Led by Sonia Boscenco. medrxiv.org/content/10.64898…

How do bacteria organize? 🦠 @BU_Tweets researchers reveal in @CellPressNews that colony shape, metabolism & nutrients drive growth, diversity & striking rings. Learn more: spr.ly/6012AGQbj

This #teamscience effort rose out of C-CoMP's need to collaborate on and integrate genome-informed 'omics data and metadata across time + space for our two model organisms R. pomeroyi and A. macleodii. Congrats to all authors! Read more👇!

Microbial metabolism operates at the level of pathways, cells, ecosystems. Some quantitative principles hold at multiple scales and may help connect them. Many fun conversations with Daniel Sher (@MCE_lab) and Mick Follows, condensed in a new perspective: nature.com/articles/s41564-0…
It's out! Our review on "Quantitative principles of (microbial) metabolism shared across scales" is out in Nature Microbiology. Studies of metabolism often focus on one specific scale (enzyme, cell, organism, community) – yet they are connected. How can we bridge this gap?

Our new paper reveals a remarkable ability in marine bacteria: they extract methyl groups from algal metabolites, creating a metabolic shortcut that accelerates the shift from lag phase to growth. Expertly led by @MartinSperfeld and @Narvaez_Delia_  nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

1/n Can LLMs perform scientific research? And, can they do so while enhancing key scientific values including transparency, traceability & verifiability? Check out our preprint on the "data-to-paper" platform. w the amazing @TalIfargan @LostInTranscrip arxiv.org/abs/2404.17605

Multi-Attribute Subset Selection is an algorithm to identify the most descriptive growth conditions in microbial phenotyping experiments. This streamlines high-throughput phenotyping efforts and helps to reveal biological insights: nature.com/articles/s42003-0… @segrelab, @YPaschalidis

Our latest publication lead by @RBLVAL is out 🎉 revealing a fascinating collaboration between bacteria and algae! 🌊🧫 We've uncovered how bacteria contribute a polysaccharide to an algal-bacterial shared matrix, promoting aggregation! 🧶🔬 nature.com/articles/s41522-0…
