Altered gut metabolites are important for the inflammatory progression in children with NAFLD. Fecal and plasma samples were collected from 145 subjects including 53 non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), 39 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and 53 obes...
BACKGROUND: Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), but its invasive nature limits its applicability for widespread screening. Identifying non-invasive molecular markers could improve CAD classific...
Gut microbiota has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple gastrointestinal (GI) and systemic metabolic and inflammatory disorders where disrupted gut microbiota composition and function (dysbiosis) has been found in multiple studies. Thus, h...
Humans are the only species with a commensal Lactobacillus-dominant vaginal microbiota. Reproductive tract microbes have been linked to fertility outcomes, as has intrauterine inflammation, suggesting immune response may mediate adverse outcomes. In ...
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD), a pediatric systemic vasculitis, lacks reliable diagnostic biomarkers and exhibits immune heterogeneity, complicating clinical management. Current therapies face challenges in targeting specific immune pathways and ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with growing evidence linking immune dysregulation to its pathogenesis. Aortic stenosis often coexists with CAD (ASCAD), representing an advanced disease f...
BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by significant heterogeneity in treatment response, with inflammation hypothesized to play a role in its pathophysiology. Peripheral inflammatory biomarkers, such as the neutrophil-to-lymph...
BACKGROUND: Trigeminal activation and sensitisation involved in chronic inflammatory orofacial pain share several similarities with headaches, including migraine. Therefore, understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms is important to determine no...
