Role of N-acetylkynurenine in mediating the effect of gut microbiota on urinary tract infection: a Mendelian randomization study

Introduction: This study explored the causal connections between gut microbiota (GM), urinary tract infection (UTI), and potential metabolite mediators using Mendelian randomization (MR).

Health Benefits of Moringa

The choices we make every day can have a signiﬁcant impact on our health and wellness.

Bacterial diversity and biopotentials of Hamtah glacier cryoconites, Himalaya

Cryoconite is a granular structure present on the glaciers and ice sheets found in polar regions including the Himalayas.

Phenotypic and genomic characterisation of performance of tropically adapted chickens raised in smallholder farm conditions in Ethiopia

Background: In sub-Saharan Africa, 80% of poultry production is on smallholder village farms, where chickens are typically reared outdoors in free-ranging conditions.

The emerging importance of skull-brain interactions in traumatic brain injury

The recent identification of skull bone marrow as a reactive hematopoietic niche that can contribute to and direct leukocyte trafficking into the meninges and brain has transformed our view of this bone structure from a solid, protective casing to a living, dynamic tissue poised to modulate brain homeostasis and neuroinflammation.

We need to gain a better understanding of how our bodies work and take charge of our own well-being

The covid vaccines are the latest in a long line of so-called modern pharmaceutical miracles that seem to cause the very things they are designed to prevent. Considering the harm covid injections do and the gaslighting of those harms, the pharmaceutical industry and those who aid them have gone a

The cardioprotective potential of selected species of mistletoe

Mistletoe is an evergreen woody shrub with stems measuring 30–100 cm.It has leathery, yellowish-green strap-shaped leaves, yellowish-green flowers, and bears typical berries.

The relationship between infectious agents and juvenile dermatomyositis: a narrative update from the pediatric perspective

Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is the most common inflammatory myopathy affecting children, being marked by chronic inflammation which mostly impacts on both skin and skeletal muscles; diagnostic criteria of JDM include an unforeseeable mixture of clinical features, while treatment modalities commonly require corticosteroids or immunosuppressant agents. Although the pathogenesis of JDM

Under the guise of biodiversity, they want to genetically manipulate all living things

Last week, a paper was published which describes that scientists have developed a new method to “create” artificial human chromosomes. The hope is that this will revolutionise gene therapy and other biotechnology applications. We should be extremely concerned but not surprised. The aim since the Earth Summit in 1992 has

Clinical and immunological comparison of COVID-19 disease between critical and non-critical courses: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction: Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which appeared in 2019, has been classified as critical and non-critical according to clinical signs and symptoms.

The causes and consequences of trained immunity in myeloid cells

Conventionally, immunity in humans has been classified as innate and adaptive, with the concept that only the latter type has an immunological memory/recall response against specific antigens or pathogens. Recently, a new concept of trained immunity (a.k.a. innate memory response) has emerged. According to this concept, innate

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea adapted better to the dark, alkaline oligotrophic karst cave than their bacterial counterparts

Subsurface karst caves provide unique opportunities to study the deep biosphere, shedding light on microbial contribution to elemental cycling.

Associations between sex hormones, receptors, binding proteins and inflammatory bowel disease: a Mendelian randomization study

Background: Gender differences existed in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).

Using SCENTinel® to predict SARS-CoV-2 infection: insights from a community sample during dominance of Delta and Omicron variants

Introduction: Based on a large body of previous research suggesting that smell loss was a predictor of COVID-19, we investigated the ability of SCENTinel®, a newly validated rapid olfactory test that assesses odor detection, intensity, and identification, to predict SARS-CoV-2 infection in a community sample. Methods: Between April 5, 2021,

Synthesis and biological evaluation of the novel chrysin prodrug for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease treatment

Background: Chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) is a natural flavonoid that has been reported as a potential treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
