Gut Microbiota Modulates Intestinal Pathological Injury in Schistosoma japonicum-Infected Mice
Frontiers in Medicine, 2020 Trapping of Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) eggs in host tissue, mainly in the intestine and liver, causes severe gastrointestinal and hepatic granulomatous immune responses and irreversible fibrosis. Although the gut microbiota plays a central role

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.This study develops a quantitative framework that integrates field data, epidemiological models, simulations, and Bayesian inference to identify key viral hosts in multispecies bee communities. By estimating species‐specific R0 values from flower‐visitor networks and viral screening, we show that honeybees, as well as other wild bees, can drive the ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis japonica is a parasitic disease that seriously endangers human health. Patients with advanced Schistosoma japonicum infection often suffer from cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Splenectomy has been widely used in the treatment of these patients. Previous studies have confirmed that S. japonicum infection is closely related to

The N‐terminal domain of gasdermin D induces liver fibrosis by reprogrammed lipid metabolism
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 114-125, January 2025.GSDMD‐NTki/wt × Alb‐creki/wt mice showed severe liver damage and hepatocyte vacuolation. The expression of genes involved in the development of liver fibrosis was stronger in the livers of GSDMD‐NTki/wtandAlb‐creki/wt mice. GSDMD‐NT induces fibrosis by mediating lipid metabolism. Abstract Background The emerging incidence of pathogenic liver conditions
