Power of Poop: Identification and Analysis of Gut Microbiome Biomarkers in Diarrhea

Abstract: The human gut microbiome, a vast collection of billions of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in maintaining host health through homeostasis. Diarrhea, which affects approximately 179 million people annually, significantly alters the gut microbiome. While infectious diarrhea is characterized by an increase in pathogens such as Escherichia coli, the changes in gut microbiome following non-infectious and chronic diarrhea remain unclear. Recent advances in metagenomic … Read More

Local Polio Eradication Programs in Key Endemic Regions in Pakistan: A Scoping Review

Abstract: This scoping review aims to identify and map the existing programs deployed in Pakistan to improve polio vaccination rates and understand the factors contributing to the persistent challenges in eradicating the disease. The review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews. A comprehensive search of PubMed was conducted, limited to publications within the last 6 years (2019-2025), yielding 96 publications. Data extraction and synthesis focused on program … Read More

The evolving landscape of cancer-causing viruses and clinical trials for vaccine development

Abstract: Viral infections cause some of the world's most deadly cancers, including cervical, liver and nasopharyngeal cancers. In this review, we spotlight the major oncogenic viruses (HPV, HBV/HCV, EBV and others) describing their mechanisms of carcinogenesis and pathogenetic impact. With a primary focus on the landscape of vaccine development, we review preventative vaccines that have had broad success in reducing cancer (for HPV and HBV). The study also includes an overview of current Phase I and II … Read More

Research on Transdermal Penetration of Rotigotine Transdermal Patchng

Abstract: The transdermal penetration behavior of drugs is a core link in the research and development of transdermal drug delivery systems, and its efficiency directly affects the in vivo absorption and therapeutic effect of drugs. The selection and processing of skin have an important impact on studying the transdermal penetration behavior of drugs. This study aims to investigate the penetration characteristics of rotigotine transdermal patches in different animal skins (mouse, rat, nude mouse, and pig … Read More

Genetic evidence supporting the causal link between optic neuritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Background: Previous studies have observed an association between optic neuritis (ON) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the causal relationship between these two conditions remains ambiguous. This study aimed to explore the causal effect between ON and RA using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: Summary statistics for RA (14,361 RA cases and 43,923 healthy controls (HCs)) and ON (582 cases and 217,491 HCs) were obtained from an available meta-analysis of published genome-wide … Read More

A Personalized Aerobic Exercise Intervention for Chinese Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease: A Methodological Framework for a Three-Year Longitudinal Study

Abstract: The population of adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) is expanding. With medical advances, the group of people who survive to adolescence with CHD continues to grow. In China, the challenges are further magnified by a sedentary lifestyle as a result of academic pressures and parental over-protection, underscoring how timely exercise interventions that are both safe and efficacious are needed. To meet this need, this paper presents a methodological framework for a three-year … Read More

In Vivo CAR-T Therapy: The Transformational Leap Toward Affordable and Safer Cancer Immunotherapy

Abstract: In vivo CAR-T therapy is revolutionizing oncology since it entails modifying a patient's T cells in situ, as opposed to the costly and lengthy ex vivo manufacturing process usually associated with traditional CAR-T therapy. This revolutionary approach utilizes lipid nanoparticles (LNP) or engineered viral vectors (e.g., AAV/LV) to deliver CAR genetic payloads directly to endogenous T cells, greatly reducing production costs while bypassing complex logistics such as leukapheresis and cell … Read More

Development of a PLA-b-PEG Drug Delivery Carrier Design Framework and ROS pH Responsive Methotrexate Carriers for RA

Abstract: Methotrexate (MTX) remains the first-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but its clinical use faces substantial challenges due to poor water solubility and systemic side effects. To address these limitations, this study develops a framework for designing polymer-based drug delivery carriers by investigating the relationship between polymer parameters, self-assembly behavior, and pharmacokinetic properties of PLA-b-PEG block copolymers. A multiparameter analysis examined the effects of … Read More

Principles and Applications of Vaccine Design Based on Immune Regulatory Networks

Abstract: Vaccinology is shifting from empiricism to rational design rooted in the immune regulatory network. Here we dissect how this network—dendritic cells, T/B lymphocytes, cytokines and their spatiotemporal interactions—can be selectively reprogrammed to control the magnitude, quality and persistence of vaccine responses. After mapping the cellular and molecular checkpoints that decide protection versus tolerance, we show how this insight directs (i) adjuvant selection targeting specific PRR—cytokine … Read More
