BACKGROUND: The gut microbiome and the host immune system interact synergistically to maintain intestinal health and defend against infections. Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5), known for recognizing bacterial flagellin, plays a pivotal role in this regulatory network. Despite significant advances in ...
Background: Hyperlipidemia is a well-established systemic metabolic disorder and a significant risk factor for periodontitis, a localized inflammatory condition; however, the precise mechanisms underpinning this comorbidity remain uncharacterized. Emerging evidence implicates the gut microbiota ...

Whooping cough resurged globally despite the widespread vaccination. A macrolide-resistant (MR) lineage carrying the high-virulence ptxP3 allele, ptxP3 MR-MT28 (MT28), has imposed a substantial burden on pertussis epidemics, while the underlying factors driving its prevalence remain unclear. Thus...

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...
BACKGROUND: Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is characterized by hyperalgesia and neuronal hyperexcitability. Although gut microbiota dysbiosis have been found in PDN, how microbiota influences PDN remains largely unexplored. RESULTS: Gut microbiota and its metabolites impacted PDN was investiga...
