The precise mechanism by which butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut contribute to resistance to respiratory viral infections remains to be elucidated. Here, we describe a gut-lung axis mechanism and report that orally administered Clostridium butyricum (CB) enhances influenza virus infection re...
Heightened sterile inflammation and mitochondrial metabolic dysfunction drives the pathophysiology of heart failure in ischemic cardiomyopathy. Yet, the transcriptional regulators within cardiomyocytes driving crosstalk between inflammation and energy metabolism remain ill-defined. Here we identi...
Healthy behavioral patterns could modulate organ functions to enhance the body’s immunity. However, whether exercise regulates antiviral innate immunity remains elusive. Here, we found that exercise promotes type-I IFN (IFN-I) production in the liver and enhances IFN-I immune activity of the body...
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematologic malignancy despite advances in treatment. While obesity is a well-established risk factor, the underlying metabolic mechanisms by which adipocytes contribute to disease progression remain elusive. Here, we uncover a critical m...
