Age-linked loss of beneficial Lactobacillus and rise of L. iners impair endometrial receptivity and embryo transfer outcomes. L. gasseri and its exopollysaccharides (EPSs) counteract senescence, enhance implantation in aged mice, and act through Hippo‑YAP signaling, suggesting microbiome‑based strategies to improve fertility in older women.

Background The relationship between gastric microbiota composition, Helicobacter pylori infection, and eradication outcomes remains unclear. This study aims to explore the association of gastric microbiota composition among patients with refractory H. pylori infection with the outcomes of rescue therapy. Material and Methods Patients who failed to respond to second- or third-line eradication therapies were prospectively enrolled. The composition of the gastric microbiota was analyzed using...

Metabolomics of single-strain & co-cultures of 7 Fusarium strains causing Fusarium head blight reveals metabolic modifications induced by strain co-occurrence. FHB metabolomics reveals species‑specific biomarkers & interaction‑driven shifts in co‑cultures. Abstract Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease affecting cereal crops, mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium poae, Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium langsethiae, Fusarium sporotrichioides, and...
