This study investigates host-microbe interactions in early pregnancy by analyzing vaginal bacteria, immune responses, and metabolic profiles to identify markers of adverse outcomes.

The frequency of menstrual cycles with a suboptimal decidual reaction determines the recurrence risk of miscarriage.

This study shows how Lactobacillus crispatus surface proteins modulate immune responses by shielding TLR ligands and interacting with anti-inflammatory receptors, reducing inflammation in the vaginal tract.

The paper uses quantitative proteomics to compare EV cargo between M1 and M2 macrophages, identifying 132 differentially expressed proteins and their functional roles in immune responses.

This study compares semen microbiota and sperm function in men with infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or proven fertility, finding no overall association but highlighting Flavobacterium's potential role.

The paper characterizes the vaginal microbiome and sialidase activity in 2689 Chinese pregnant women, finding no association with preterm birth risk.

The paper predicts bacterial carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) across genomes to explore their role in vaginal microbiome colonization and pathogenicity.
