Dr. Manu Pradeesh Jacob’s Post

In Earth's intricate web of life, humans and plants stand as two distinct pillars, each with unique metabolic, nutritional, and defence mechanisms. Understanding the parallels and divergences between these two kingdoms is not only a fascinating endeavour but also holds the potential to revolutionise our approaches to health, agriculture, and sustainability. In this insightful article, Professor Farooqe Azam, R&D VP at Bontera BioAg, explores the remarkable worlds of metabolism, nutrient uptake, gut health, root microbiomes, adaptation to environmental stress, immune responses, and the profound impact of plant compounds on human health. https://lnkd.in/dbTCrktc

Happy #WorldMicrobiomeDay, from #CIRCLESEU! This year's theme, "Microbes for Life," emphasizes the importance of these microscopic organisms for our health, environment, and future. 🦠 Check out our infographic below for a quick guide to where the microbiome sits in our body and how it affects our health! 👇 CIRCLES is at the forefront of microbiome research, solving puzzles about how our microbial partners affect human health and ecosystems. By investigating the diversity and roles of these microorganisms, CIRCLES hopes to unlock their potential for innovative and sustainable solutions in 6 food chains! Want to learn more about CIRCLES ‘research results? Don’t miss our the final conference next September 17th! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eAWcH3zs

I'm excited to be part of a new report (released today) by National Academy of Sciences. We delved into the linkages between soil health and human health using a one-health framework. This is a groundbreaking approach, as the environmental component of one health and its connections to humans are often less studied compared to linkages between human and animals. Within the environmental sector, soils are the most understudied aspect of this puzzle. Our report emphasizes the need for: *Promoting the importance of soils as modulators of human health *Supporting translational, cross soil and human health domain research *Developing a coordinated national approach to monitor soil health over time *Decoding microbial features contributing to health in both humans and soils *and many more! If you are in Atlanta at the American Society of Microbiology - come listen to me and report co-author, Dr. Kali Kneil discuss the microbial aspects of this report in a meet the expert session tomorrow. B304, GWCC @ 5:15 Friday June 14th. Hope to see you there! #SoilHealth #HumanHealth #OneHealth #EnvironmentalScience #TranslationalResearch

I'm really excited by this approach, using a One Health approach to understand the linkages between soil health and human health.

I'm excited to announce a new @The National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine report, which explores the linkages between soil health and human health. The report finds that to improve soil health, federal agencies need to promote the importance of soil health, support translational research, and develop a coordinated national approach to monitor soil health over time. The report also says there is a pressing need to determine which microbial features, if any, contribute to quantifying or fortifying health in both human and soil systems and to understand the direct and indirect roles of soil, alongside other environmental factors, in influencing human microbial colonization and subsequent health outcomes.

Landmark Research by Dr. Shakir Ali Unveils Potential #Health Risks from Rice Consumption! A significant breakthrough in understanding the potential health implications of consuming rice comes courtesy of a #research team led by Dr. Shakir Ali, a Research Associate at CAWTM, MRIIRS. Published in the renowned Quartile-1 journal - Biological Trace Element Research - Springer, his research sheds light on fluoride content in rice, a staple food for nearly half the world's population. Delving Deep into #GlobalRice and Fluoride: Dr. Ali's work employs a comprehensive systematic review, analyzing fluoride levels in raw rice across various countries. This global perspective shines a light on potential health risks for millions who rely on rice as their primary source of sustenance. The Centre for Advanced Water Technology & Management (CAWTM), MRIIRS, spearheads translational research that directly impacts the population at large. Through cutting-edge facilities and interdisciplinary collaboration, CAWTM remains at the forefront of #scientific #innovation, bridging the gap between scientific discoveries and practical applications, and contributing significantly to addressing real-world challenges and improving public health outcomes.

Do you know what’s in your salad 🥗? Of the 26,000 biomolecules found in the plants we eat, most are still unidentified, and their health effects generally unknown. Understanding these biomolecules is the goal of The Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) and it becomes even more important as climate change reduces available nutrients in some crops.

#YearInReview: Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers discovered that freshwater microalgae demonstrate the ability to break down #mercury in water. Phytoplankton, or microalgae, are known as accumulators of methylmercury. The plankton introduce methylmercury into the food chain, where it makes its way to fish and eventually to humans. But researchers found that some forms of phytoplankton are also good at detoxifying methylmercury, even where there is no sunlight. The discovery of this new mechanism can be improve the prediction and accuracy of mercury-cycling models to better assess risks to human health and the environment. https://lnkd.in/gD_veDhU
