Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) ranks among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders globally. The impact of the gut microbiota and associated metabolites on OCD remains unclear. Here, we report a remarkable reduction of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) abundance in both patients and ...

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related mucin depletion could be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) uses mucin as its sole energy source and shows potential in the treatment of colitis. However, the effects and underlying m...

Specific pathogen-free laboratory mice are widely used in biomedical research; however, their neonatal-like physiological state often limits their ability to model adult human conditions. Here, we induced adult-like physiological characteristics in laboratory mice by co-housing them with naturall...

Background: Gut microbiota dysbiosis is a critical contributor to the pathogenesis and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Darutigenol (DL), a natural compound has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity, but its low oral bioavailability limits its application. However, t...

Circadian disruption has emerged as a significant public health issue and is increasingly recognized as a contributor to the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we established a ...
