INTRODUCTION: Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Although its precise etiology has not been fully elucidated, imbalance of the intestinal microbiota has been known to play a role in CD. Fecal metabolites m...
Reactive astrocytes play an important role in neurological diseases, but their molecular and functional phenotypes in epilepsy are unclear. Here, we show that in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and mouse models of epilepsy, excessive lipid accumulation in astrocytes leads to the format...

Parkinson's Disease (PD) has been associated with a distinct odour, which emanates from the skin and is strongest in sebum-rich areas. In this study, sebum was sampled from participants using cotton gauze and the volatile components emanating from these swabs were analysed directly with thermal d...
OBJECTIVES: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic enteropathy characterized by an autoimmune reaction in the small intestine of genetically susceptible individuals. The underlying causes of autoimmune reaction and its effect on host metabolism remain largely unknown. Herein, we apply ...
Abstract Background & Aims: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) pathogenesis involves gut microbiota dysbiosis, but specific pathobionts and mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the role of patient-derived enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) in ALD progression and its underlyi...
