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...
Alcohol-associated fatty liver disease (AFLD) is driven by ethanol-induced metabolic dysregulation and hepatic inflammation, with gut dysbiosis and endotoxin-triggered innate immune activation implicated in disease progression. Platycodin D (PD), a triterpenoid saponin from Platycodon grandifloru...
With the rising incidence of IBD and limitations of current therapies, novel strategies are urgently needed. Recent studies have highlighted natural products in colitis treatment. Here, we investigated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of lily polysaccharides (LP) in DSS-induced ulcerative c...
Succinate is implicated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory diseases via its receptor, G protein-coupled receptor 91 (GPR91). Despite its therapeutic potential, conflicting reports on its inflammatory roles have hindered GPR91-targeted treatm...
