International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Preterm labor is a multifactorial syndrome with diverse etiologies such as infection, inflammation, uteroplacental dysfunction, stress, and immune dysregulation. Identifying women at high risk remains a challenge, and multivariate prediction models have been developed to enhance risk stratification.

iMeta, EarlyView.Microbiome age (MA) has emerged as an innovative biomarker of biological aging, reflecting host aging trajectories through dynamic alterations in microbial composition, function, and host–microbe interactions across multiple body ecosystems. Diverse computational strategies—including traditional machine learning, deep learning, and multi‐omics ...

Screening and characterization of vaginal fluid donations for vaginal microbiota transplantation
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractBacterial vaginosis (BV), the overgrowth of diverse anaerobic bacteria in the vagina, is the most common cause of vaginal symptoms worldwide. BV frequently recurs after antibiotic therapy, and the best probiotic treatments only result in transient changes from BV-associated states to “optimal” communities dominated by a single species of ...

Role of age in mediating the association between the vaginal microbiota and preterm birth
mSystemsThe vaginal microbiota plays a crucial role in vaginal health and pregnancy outcomes. However, the influence of maternal characteristics, especially age, on the relationship between the vaginal microbiota and preterm birth is poorly understood.

Maternal and infant gut microbiome
iMeta, EarlyView.The maternal–infant continuum involves critical windows of host–microbiota co‐adaptation. Preconception, maternal and paternal microbiomes modulate immunity and reproduction. During pregnancy, a gut–placenta axis emerges, where microbial metabolites influence fetal growth or contribute to complications like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ...

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.Microbiota‐targeted therapeutic strategies in hematological disorders. aHSCT: Transplanted immune cells from the donor may attack the recipient's tissues, especially when damage to the intestinal epithelium disrupts the gut microbiota, contributing to GVHD. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiota that supports immune regulation helps reduce GVHD risk and
