Metabolic networks are interconnected and influence diverse cellular processes. The protein-metabolite interactions that mediate these networks are frequently low affinity and challenging to systematically discover. We developed mass spectrometry integrated with equilibrium dialysis for the disco...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are dysregulated in cancers, with N6-methyladenosine (m⁶A)-modified species acting as key regulators of ferroptosis via iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation. This study examines the role of circSLTM (circ-0000605) in gastric cancer (GC). Clinical analyses of GEO data an...
Gut commensal bacteria promote host reproduction by modulating metabolism and nutrition, but the molecular mechanisms by which microbes regulate reproduction remain unclear. Here, we show that gut commensal bacteria promote host reproduction by providing amino-acid methionine, which controls the ...
Cesarean section scar diverticulum (CSD) has become a formidable obstacle preventing women receiving CS from reproducing. However, the pathogenesis of CSD remains unexplored. In this study, we characterized the cervical microbiota, metabolome and endometrial transcriptome of women with CSD. Based...
Microbiota-released extracellular vesicles (MEVs) have emerged as a key player in intercellular signaling. However, their involvement in the gut-brain axis has been poorly investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cargo capacity of MEVs for bioactive metabolites and their interacti...
