⚡️A new piece of the puzzle in recurrent pregnancy loss: Hyperoside alleviates endometrial stromal cell senescence, restores decidualization, and reduces embryo loss partly by mitigating pathological R-loop accumulation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Hyperoside alleviates endometrial stromal cell senescence in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion via DHX9‐mediated R‐loop resolution
This study suggests that the food-derived flavonoid hyperoside may act as a natural DExH-box helicase 9 (DHX9) modulator, directly targeting Thr419 of DHX9 to help resolve pathological R-loop accumul...

Aquatic Plastisphere as a Reservoir for Pathogenic and Antifungal-Resistant Fungi
Plastic pollution creates a globally distributed “plastisphere” microhabitat, yet its role in fostering antifungal resistance, a rapidly emerging One Health threat, remains poorly understood. Here, we...

Two stable gut microbiome guilds predict liver tumor class and treatment responses
Gut microbiome alterations are linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet taxon-based biomarkers often lack reproducibility. Using shotgun metagenomics from 120 resectable HCC (MT) and 76 benign h...
