Academic Background Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing autoimmune disorder primarily comprising Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The exact pathogenesis of IBD remains unclear, but it is known that abnormal immune responses play a critical role in its development, particularly the imbalance of CD4+ T cells. The...
Academic Background Metabolic-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is a major health issue affecting over 30% of the global population and is closely related to various chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and renal dysfunction. The pathological spectrum of MASLD ranges from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis and progress...
Cyanobacteria–Probiotics Symbionts for Modulation of Intestinal Inflammation and Microbiome Dysregulation in Colitis Academic Background Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic inflammatory conditions of the gut, primarily including Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The pathogenesis of IBD is complex, involving dysfun...
Optimized Nutritional Interventions Improve Muscle Fatigue, Strength, and Quality of Life in Patients with Primary Mitochondrial Disease Background Introduction Primary mitochondrial disease (PMD) encompasses a group of disorders caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA, affecting systemic energy metabolism. The prevalence is approxi...
Gut Microbiota-Derived Indole-3-Acetic Acid (3-IAA) Suppresses High Myopia Progression by Promoting Type I Collagen Synthesis Background High myopia (HM) is a serious vision-threatening ocular condition associated with complications such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Currently, effective interventions for high myopia are lacking...
Inflammation-Induced Epigenetic Imprinting and Intestinal Stem Cell Regulation In recent years, the scientific community has shown immense interest in the “memory” capabilities of non-immune cells, particularly the phenomenon where specific stem cells in adult tissues develop memory after undergoing inflammation, influencing their functionality. Ho...
Multilayered Tissue Construction of a Micro-intestinal System Reproduces Mesenchymal Flow Research Background In recent years, constructing in vitro models of the human small intestine has made significant progress; however, fully replicating its complex structural and functional characteristics remains challenging. The goal of micro-intestinal tis...
Gastrointestinal-Induced Spread of α-Synuclein and Tau Proteins Triggers Comorbid Pathology and Behavioral Impairments in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are two common neurodegenerative disorders, caused by the aggregation of α-synuclein (a-syn) and Tau protein in the brain, res...
Study on the Effect of Glucose Regulation on Hepatic Mitochondrial Oxidation and Pyruvate Carboxylase Flux in Patients with Fatty Liver Disease Research Background and Significance Metabolic-dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) has become one of the major challenges in global health in the 21st century. This condition is often acc...
Research Report on the Relationship Between High Protein Diet and Liver Fat Synthesis Background and Significance Globally, the prevalence of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is gradually increasing, becoming a common issue among people with obesity and insulin resistance. The pathological development of this disease...
