Background: The causal relationships between gut microbiota, blood metabolites, and stroke and its subtypes remain unclear. This study aims to uncover the causal associations using Mendelian randomization.
Methods: We initially identify Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) correlated with gut microbiota and blood metabolites as instrumental variables (IVs) from the summary statistics in Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) to evaluate their potential causal associations with stroke and its subtypes.

Introduction: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and irreversible interstitial lung disease characterized by a lack of effective therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered significant interest in the realm of lung regeneration due to their abundant availability, ease of isolation, and capacity for expansion. The objective of our study was to investigate the potential therapeutic role of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in the management of PF, with a focus on the alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites during the use of UC-MSCs for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the possible mechanisms involved.

Purpose: Previous researches have suggested an important association between gut microbiota (GM) and vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis. This study aimed to explore the association between 196 GM taxa and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Methods: This study used Mendelian randomization (MR), linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), and polygenic overlap analysis.

Studies conducted so far have shown that nano- and microplastic may disturb the intestinal microenvironment by interacting with the intestinal epithelium and the gut microbiota. Depending on the research model used, the effect on the microbiome is different-an increase or decrease in selected taxa resulting in the development of dysbiosis. Dysbiosis may be associated with intestinal inflammation, development of mental disorders or diabetes.

Recently we demonstrated that the seed microbiome of certain spinach (Spinacia oleracea) seed lots can confer disease suppression against Globisporangium ultimum damping-off (previously known as Pythium ultimum). We hypothesised that differences in the microbial community composition of spinach seed lots correlate with the levels of damping-off suppressiveness of each seed lot. Here, we show that a large proportion of variance in seed-associated bacterial (16S) and fungal (ITS1) amplicon sequences was explained by seed lot identity, while 9.
