Betulinic Acid Enema Alleviates Colitis by Targeting Vitamin D Receptor to Protect the Intestinal Mucosal Barrier and Modulate Mucosa‐Associated Microbiota

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with limited effectiveness and safety of current drug therapies. Betulinic acid (BA) is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid present in traditional Chinese medicines used clinically as retention enemas for UC, but its direct effects and mechanisms remain unclear ...

Infection risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with biologic and targeted therapies

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
In this context, infections associated with each biologic and targeted drug are summarized to inform the stratification of RA patients, including the characteristics of the susceptible patients and their concomitant therapy. We aim to provide a benefit‐risk analysis for clinical decision, and vital indications for the prevention of highly correlated ...

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy

VIEW, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

Comprehensive evaluation of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing for pathogen identification in patients with suspected infection: Establishment of a standardized validation workflow

VIEW, EarlyView.
Comprehensive evaluation of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing for pathogen identification in patients with suspected infection: Establishment of a standardized validation workflow. Abstract Metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) enables unbiased identification of pathogens directly from clinical specimens. Despite its growing application in

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is
