Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with no new preventive therapeutics introduced since the 1970s. Evidence increasingly implicates adverse vaginal microbiome-immune interactions in its aetiology. We report the effects of the live biotherapeutic, Lact...
Bone regeneration requires spatiotemporal coordination of immune modulation, stem cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis, yet most scaffolds lack sequential control across healing phases. We develop a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive therapeutic platform that integrates clinically av...
18 Bacteroidetes isoaltes were analyzed for their neuroactive potentail using un-targeted and targeted metabolomics. The bacteria were grown to stationary phase, the supernatant was separated and purified using 0.22 um filter. The metabolome from the supernatant was extracted using standard Metha...
BACKGROUND: Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS) is an autoinflammatory condition consequence of monoallelic variants in the NLRP3 gene that exacerbate IL-1β production. These variants are gain-of-function, but the exact regulatory mechanism of the NLRP3 CAPS-inflammasom...
PURPOSE: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is a debilitating symptom frequently reported by patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and it is associated with a dysregulated sinonasal inflammation. However, little information is available about the effect of the inflammation-related n...
