The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is essential for central nervous system homeostasis, but most current in vitro models lack structural and functional fidelity. We developed a physiologically relevant human neurovascular unit microfluidic chip (hNVU-on-a-chip) incorporating brain microvascular endoth...
Alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD) constitutes a major global public health issue and is often comorbid with neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death characterized by iron dependency and lipid peroxidation, has been impl...
Coffee influences multiple physiological processes, including gut function, stress, cognition, and the microbiome. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined coffee’s impact on the microbiota–gut–brain axis—a bidirectional communication p...
Radiofrequency radiation (RFR) with specific parameters could alter brain function, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The gut-brain axis is reported to be important in regulating brain function. Therefore, this study used gut microbiota intervention, regulation of tryptophan metabolit...

Previous studies have found that gut microbiota and metabolites may be crucial in insect sexual maturation. For example, during sexual maturity, the increased dopamine in the drone's brain can affect its reproductive behavior, such as flight, mating, etc. In addition, gut microbiota can affect br...
