As a Ph.D. student, I felt unprepared to mentor—but I’m glad I took the leap “I could help even when I did not have a solution,” this scientist learned

'What mattered, I realized, was not to be some imaginary perfect mentor with all the answers, but to get to know my mentee, including her hopes and ambitions, and offer whatever guidance and support I could based on my own experiences.'

Well 99% of time mine as well 😅

Grant writing can, and should, be fun ☺️

Spatial quantitative metabolomics enables identification of remote and sustained ipsilateral cortical metabolic reprogramming after stroke Nature Metabolism, Published online: 05 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01340-8Wang et al. report a workflow to perform quantitative mass spectrometry imaging and provide insight into spatial metabolic remodelling undergone in the mouse brain upon ischaemia.

Unlocking spatial metabolomics with isotopically labelled internal standards Nature Metabolism, Published online: 05 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01341-7We present a cost-effective normalization strategy for spatial metabolomics using uniformly 13C-labelled yeast extract, which addresses limitations of conventional methods and the physico-chemical complexity of water-soluble metabolites. Our approach outperforms standard normalization strategies and reveals hitherto unrecognized metabolic remodelling in the cortex after stroke, demonstrating its applicability.

A dysbiotic microbiome triggers TH17 cells to mediate oral mucosal immunopathology in mice and humans Combined patient and animal model studies implicate microbiota-triggered TH17 cells as disease drivers and therapeutic targets in periodontitis.

Would be interesting to see if this variant decreases susceptibility to periodontitis as well! check out this one ! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... A dysbiotic microbiome triggers TH17 cells to mediate oral mucosal immunopathology in mice and humans | Science Translational Medicine

Excited to share a new chapter:
As of July 1st, I’ve joined @ki.se as an Assistant Professor and #NewPI!

The Monasterio Lab is officially up and running — we’ll study physiological circuits driving #salivaryglands and #GItract communication in health and disease.

Stay tuned for the science ahead!

I can’t unsee it
