Tetracycline antibiotics (TETs) cause hepatotoxicity via gut-liver axis disruption and oxidative stress. This study evaluated whether formononetin (FMN), a natural isoflavone, alleviates TET-induced liver injury through microbiota-metabolite-transcriptome coordination. Using network toxicology an...

Although itaconate demonstrates anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties as an immunomodulatory metabolite, the therapeutic potential and mechanistic basis of vaccine-induced or prophylactic itaconate administration in COVID-19 intervention remains underexplored. Our studies reveal that int...
Exercise promotes physiological cardiomyocyte growth and protects against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the heart. The molecular mechanism by which exercise benefits cardiac metabolism and function remains largely unknown. Using a genetically encoded fluorescent indicator, we found that ex...
Apple bitter pit (ABP), a severe physiological disorder, severely impairs the quality and yield of the susceptible 'Qingcui' apple. This study investigated the control efficacy and mechanism of a three-in-one Organic Plant Protection Technology (OPPT) against ABP, with treatments set as control (...

Regional structure of the intestinal epithelium is critical for its function and is associated with the risk of specific gut diseases. However, how regionalization is established and how it influences disease susceptibility remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of the gut micr...
Natural killer (NK) cells are forced to cope with different oxygen environments even under resting conditions. The adaptation to low oxygen is regulated by oxygen-sensitive transcription factors, the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). The function of HIFs for NK cell activation and metabolic rewir...
