What to do when commenting on Hamas’ terrorist attack against Israel? If your first draft mentions neither the victim nor the perpetrator, rewrite it. If your first draft blames the victim, rewrite it. If you first draft emphasizes “both sides” or empathizes with the perpetrator, rewrite it. If your first draft refers to militants rather than terrorists, rewrite it.

The effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in treating ulcerative colitis depends on a small set of beneficial bacterial strains, suggests a new study by Dr. @RandyLongman of @WCMC_IBD and researchers at #WCM and @nyphospital. bit.ly/3mCTpMo

New study identifies an “Achilles heel” of bacteria linked to Crohn’s disease that may lead to more targeted therapies, according to a team of researchers from @WCMC_IBD, @Cornell, @WeillCornellGS, @nyphospital, @sloan_kettering, led by Dr. @RandyLongman. bit.ly/3oNI5vR

AIEC #metabolism drives inflammation: Propanediol metabolism by #Crohns disease adherent-invasive #Ecoli promotes intestinal #Tcell inflammation. CX3CR1 mononuclear phagocytes sense propionate to trigger IL-1β leading to tissue #inflammation @RandyLongman cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

Additional evidence that how the mucosal immune response deals with adherent bacteria is central to microbiome tolerance vs. inflammatory immunity. AIEC adaptation to mucus is key. Longman Lab @WeillCornell @cellhostmicrobe cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

Great work @WCMC_IBD @RandyLongman and team!

Thanks to the Starr Cancer Consortium for funding our research on composite mutations in bladder cancer patients. Proud of @weisi_liu @Kyrillus2 who initiated this work in my lab. Excited to collaborate w @IyerGopa @DSolit @sloan_kettering #ctDNA #base_editing #teamscience

FT. @MasonMount_10's goal wins it for the Blues! 👌 #FULCHE

Happy Friday! Here is today's algorithm for this week's @MondayNightIBD discussion on Infliximab Loss-of Response in UC by @AdamEhrlichMD. My take home point: We need more comparator RCTs! @DCharabaty #IBDAlgorithm.
