The reverse transsulfuration pathway is the major route for the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. The role of this metabolic pathway in macrophage response and function is unknown. We show that the enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) is induced in macrophages infected with pathogenic ba...
In recent years, with the deepening of research on intestinal microbiota, we found intestinal microbiota plays an important role in host immune regulation and barrier maintenance through cross-talk between the microbiota and the host. New evidence suggests that disruption of the fragile balance w...
Preeclampsia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women, affecting 5-8% of gestations worldwide. Its development is influenced by maternal immune abnormalities, metabolic disorders and gut dysbiosis. In this study, we show that gut dysbiosis in pregnant C57BL/6J dams leads to...
