Gut Microbial Genetic Variation Prolongs Host Healthy Longevity and Remodels Metabolome and Proteome in Drosophila Melanogaster

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that specific genetic variations in gut‐residing Saccharomyces cerevisiae significantly extend healthspan and lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster. These mutants rejuvenate aged intestinal metabolism, upregulate mitochondrial proteins, and enhance energy pathways.

Targeting Histamine H4 Receptor in the Rostral Ventromedial Medulla to Relieve Hypertension

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
H4R and its downstream TRPV1 channel mediate the excitatory effect of TMN histaminergic afferent inputs on GABAergic sympathoinhibitory neurons in RVMM. Intranasal delivery of selective H4R agonist VUF 8430 suppresses renal sympathetic outflow and elicits sustained depressor and bradycardia responses in SHRs and CUMS‐induced hypertensive rats ...

Type 2 Diabetes‐Associated Phenylacetylglutamine Induces Deleterious Inflammation Cycle in Myeloid Cells through β2 Adrenergic Receptors and Impedes Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The microbiota‐derived metabolite phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln) is elevated in type 2 diabetes and tightly associated with poor healing in both diabetic and non‐diabetic human patients. PAGln promotes mouse inflammation and impairs healing through a transmissible β2‐adrenergic receptor–mediated trained‐immunity loop.
