Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a protein-bound uremic toxin resulting from gut microbiota-driven tryptophan metabolism, increases in hemodialysis (HD) patients. IAA may induce endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress, elevating cardiovascular and cognitive risk in HD patients. However, research on the microbiome-IAA association is limited. This study aimed to explore the gut microbiome's relationship with plasma IAA levels in 72 chronic HD patients aged over 18 (August 2016-January 2017). IAA levels were measured using tandem mass spectrometry, and gut microbiome analysis utilized 16s rRNA next-generation sequencing. Linear discriminative analysis effect size and random forest analysis distinguished microbial species linked to IAA levels. Patients with higher IAA levels had reduced microbial diversity. Six microbial species significantly associated with IAA levels were identified; , , , and were enriched in low-IAA individuals, while and were enriched in high-IAA individuals. This study sheds light on specific gut microbiota species influencing IAA levels, enhancing our understanding of the intricate interactions between the gut microbiota and IAA metabolism.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by the core symptoms of impaired social communication and stereotyped behaviors, is strongly associated with dysregulated microbiota-gut-brain axis. Emerging evidence suggests that , which showed reduced abundance in ASD cohorts, holds therapeutic potential, though its interaction with host remain unexplored. Here, we investigated the efficacy and molecular basis of 4P-15 (4P-15) in BTBR /J (BTBR) mice, an idiopathic ASD mouse model.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disorder, presents persistent therapeutic challenges in clinical management. Gastrodin (GAS) is an active compound isolated from traditional Chinese medicine Gastrodia elata (Tianma), exhibits robust anti-inflammatory bioactivity. However, the role of GAS in UC has not been thoroughly studied.

Headache disorders are among the most common neurological conditions in children and adolescents, often continuing into adulthood and causing substantial personal and societal burdens. Yet, the transition from childhood to adult headache care remains under-addressed, with critical clinical practice, policy, and research gaps. This narrative review synthesizes existing evidence and expert perspectives to highlight the urgent need for structured, developmentally appropriate transition models in headache care.

Nitrogen (N) is essential for the physiological metabolism, growth, and development of plants. Plants have evolved a complex regulatory network for the efficient regulation of N uptake and utilization to adapt to fluctuations in environmental N levels. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of N absorption and utilization in apple remain unclear.

Background: Late-onset diarrhoea remains a poorly managed concern for clinical irinotecan therapy. Although bacterial β-glucuronidases (β-GUS) mediated SN-38 production is prevailingly thought to mediate intestinal toxicity, β-GUS inhibitors confer limited benefits in the clinic.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of endogenous bacterial metabolites in susceptibility to irinotecan toxicity.
