Pericyte loss is an early and critical event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR), yet the molecular mechanisms underlying pericyte dysfunction remain incompletely understood. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we generated a retinal cellular overview comprising 18,926 cells from...
Dysregulated kinase activity drives oncogenic signalling, perturbs cellular homeostasis, and promotes tumour progression. Despite major success in targeting kinases therapeutically, the downstream consequences of kinase inhibition and the mechanisms underlying drug resistance remain incompletely ...
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), a key commensal of the human gut microbiota, exhibits robust capacity to degrade dietary polysaccharides via carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). However, the exact spatial distribution and the functional coordination of these enzymes remain poor...
To evaluate the therapeutic potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Probio87 in adults with functional constipation (FC), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted. A total of 101 adults meeting the Rome IV diagnostic criteria for FC were enrolled. All participants rec...
Functional characterization of microbes which colonize CRC is impeded by a lack of bacterial strains from tumor tissues. Here, we report the Cancer-Associated Microbe Library (CAM-L), comprising more than 3,000 viable bacterial isolates, representing 121 distinct species, and 60 matching organoid...
