Excessive salt intake is a widespread health issue observed in almost every country around the world. A high salt diet (HSD) has a strong correlation with numerous diseases, including hypertension, chronic kidney disease and autoimmune disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying HSD-promotion o...
Multidrug-resistant bacteria present a major threat to public health. Therefore, new drugs or approaches are urgently needed to manage and mitigate this threat. Here, we screen the molecular candidates that allow the survival of mice upon Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection by integrated p...
We screened a series of metabolites and found that L-Arg strongly inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome assembly in vitro. Mechanistically, L-Arg directly binds the D31 site of NLRP3, blocking NLRP3-ASC interaction and subsequent inflammasome assembly. This discovery establishes NLRP3 as a direct sensor fo...
With the monophasic variant of Salmonella Typhimurium (S. 4,[5],12:i-) emerging as one of the most prevalent serotypes, multidrug resistance has become an increasingly serious clinical challenge. Conventional antibiotic therapy is further constrained by adverse effects, including resistance selec...
