This study not only identified an efficient host-homologous antioxidant probiotic, PGM326, but also systematically elucidated its mechanism of exerting antioxidant function by synthesizing BA to promote OXPHOS in intestinal epithelial cells, thereby enhancing cell differentiation. This provides a...

The gut microbiota is essential to host health. Probiotics can be used as a microbiota targeted therapy to improve host health. However, probiotic molecular mechanisms of action and probiotics targeting the small intestinal microbiota are often not elucidated. In this study, we construct a three ...

The intervention effects and underlying mechanisms of Lactobacillus strains against hypercholesterolemia in mice have been extensively documented. However, fewer studies have focused on the cholesterol-lowering potential and the corresponding metabolic regulatory mechanisms of Pediococcus acidila...

Many patients are suffering from atherosclerosis without typical risk factors, which can cause severe cardiovascular complications. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), derived from gut microbes, is a key unconventional contributor to the development of atherosclerosis. Here we present a stra...

Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a global metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally elevated serum uric acid (UA) (SUA) level, and this study aimed to design a functional fermented beverage based on the urate-lowering probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei N1115 (LP) and Aronia melanocarpa (black chokeberr...

Chronic, drug-resistant bone infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) features an immunosuppressive niche enabling persistent infection and impaired bone healing. Specific treatment requires initial antibacterial immune activation against infection, followed by resha...
