Background: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are known to modulate host physiology, but their differential interactions with the gut microbiota and consequent host metabolic effects remain poorly understood.
Methods: We employed shotgun metagenomics, untargeted met...

In recent years, the immunomodulatory function of adipose tissue has attracted much attention; however, the mechanism of steady-state regulation of the immune microenvironment in adipose tissue remains unclear. Catecholamines (CAs) activate adipocyte surface β3-AR to promote lipid metabolism, and...
Objective
To characterise the vaginal microbiota, mucosal metabolome and host immune response in early pregnancy and investigate its relationship with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including ectopic pregnancy, within the context of pregnancies of unknown location (PUL).
