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...
Background and Purpose: Previous studies have reported that oral low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) ameliorated colitis by undefined mechanisms in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Our study explored the mechanisms of LMWH on colitis from the perspective of gut microbiota and its metabolites.
Introduction: The gut microbiota and its metabolites are implicated in atherosclerosis, but the specific effector molecules and their pathophysiological significance remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify key atheroprotective microbial metabolites and to elucidate the mech...
Background: Qijiao Shengbai capsule (QJSB) is a classic traditional Chinese compound formulation composed of seven herbal ingredients, primarily used clinically to treat leukopenia. Individual herbs and their active components within QJSB demonstrate favorable efficacy against ulcerative colitis ...

BACKGROUND: Dietary intervention has been reported to improve intestinal health. The intestinal microbiota of newborn animals plays a fundamental role in the development of intestinal function and the innate immune system. However, little is currently known about dietary interven...
As global vehicular electrification accelerates, the exponential accumulation of tire wear particles (TWPs) poses a pervasive threat to edaphic ecosystems. To elucidate the systemic bioenergetic impact of TWP toxicity, we performed a non-targeted metabolomic profiling of the soil sentinel earthwo...
