Role of microbiota in pain: From bench to bedside

iMetaOmics, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2025.
Pain is closely linked to microbes. The microbiota modulates pain perception through three mechanisms: microbiota‐derived metabolites, immunoregulation, and direct stimulation on neurons. Therapeutic strategies like probiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and dietary changes show significant potential in pain management.

Temperate and chronic virus competition leads to low lysogen frequency [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
The canonical bacteriophage is obligately lytic: the virus infects a bacterium and hijacks cell functions to produce large numbers of new viruses which burst from the cell. These viruses are well-studied, but there exist a wide range of coexisting virus lifestyles that are less understood.

3D EAGAN: 3D edge-aware attention generative adversarial network for prostate segmentation in transrectal ultrasound images [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Automatic prostate segmentation in TRUS images has always been a challenging problem, since prostates in TRUS images have ambiguous boundaries and inhomogeneous intensity distribution. Although many prostate segmentation methods have been proposed, they still need to be improved due to the lack of sensibility to edge information.

Development of Probiotics for Male Reproductive Tract Health: In Vitro Experiments and Clinical Trial on Healthy Volunteers

Andrologia, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Health of the male urogenital tract is closely related to the microbial communities in this anatomical area. Disturbed microbial communities can be balanced with the help of carefully selected strains in which the presence of both general and specific probiotic effects has been described. Objectives: We aimed to develop novel probiotic that
