Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum GUANKE Alleviates Allergic Asthma by Restricting Monocyte‐to‐DC Differentiation Via Microbiota‐Associated IAA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum GUANKE remodels the indigenous gut microbiota and is associated with microbiota‐dependent restoration of circulating IAA. IAA treatment attenuates JAK3‐STAT3 and Jag1‐Notch4‐Hey1 signaling and reduces CX3CR1+Ly6C− monocytic precursor generation and pulmonary CD11b+ DC accumulation, together with reduced Th2 inflammation ...

Targeting β2‐Adrenergic Receptor Stability With Lycorine Reveals a Host‐Directed Pathway for Antiviral Defense Against Poxviruses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic stress drives autophagy‐mediated β2‐AR degradation, impairing antiviral immunity and promoting poxvirus lethality. Lycorine directly stabilizes β2‐AR to restore host defense, suppress excessive inflammation and improve survival. ABSTRACT Psychological stress is a pervasive yet poorly understood modulator of infectious disease outcomes. Here, we

Enteric ChAT‐Expressing Neurons Mediate the Protective Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In colitis patients and mice, reduced Lactobacillus abundance is observed. Experimental studies show that L. plantarum A736 metabolizes dietary tryptophan into indole‐3‐lactic acid (ILA), while both L. plantarum A736 and ILA impact ChAT‐expressing enteric neurons and acetylcholine levels, thereby regulating intestinal immune responses and alleviating ...
