Abstract A unique interplay between body and environment embeds reflects host–microbiome interactions that contribute to sex‐differential disease susceptibility, symptomatology, treatment outcomes. These differences derive from individual biological factors, such as sex hormone action, sex‐divergent immune processes, X‐linked gene dosage effects, epigenetics, well their interaction across the lifespan. The gut microbiome is increasingly recognized a moderator of several systems are thus impacted by its function composition. In humans, components further interact with gender‐specific exposures dietary preferences, stressors, life experiences form complex whole, requiring innovative methodologies disentangle. Here, we summarize current knowledge among hormones, microbiota, system, vascular health relevance for epidemiology cardiovascular diseases. We outline clinical implications, identify gaps, place emphasis on required future studies address these gaps. addition, provide an overview caveats associated conducting research require consideration sex/gender differences. While previous work has inspected separately, here call attention translational utility combined perspective research, gender medicine, biology.

The gut microbiota plays an essential role in maintaining immune homeostasis and influencing the landscape within tumor microenvironment. This review aims to elucidate interactions between dynamics, with a focus on colorectal cancer (CRC). spans foundational concepts of immuno-microbial interplay, factors microbiome composition, evidence linking immunotherapy outcomes. Gut modulates anti-cancer immunity through several mechanisms, including enhancement surveillance modulation inflammatory responses. Specific microbial species their metabolic byproducts can significantly influence efficacy immunotherapies. Furthermore, diversity correlates clinical outcomes CRC, suggesting potential as valuable biomarker for predicting response immunotherapy. Conclusions: Understanding relationship responses offers novel therapeutic strategies development. not only influences natural history treatment CRC but also serves critical modulator activity. Further exploration into microbiome's could enhance effectiveness existing treatments guide development new modalities.

Abstract Immunotherapies have revolutionized cancer treatment. These treatments rely on immune cell activation in tumours, which limits the number of patients that respond. Inflammatory molecules, like lipopolysaccharides (LPS), can activate innate cells, convert tumour microenvironments from cold to hot, and increase therapeutic efficacy. However, systemic delivery (LPS) induce cytokine storm. In this work, we developed immune‐controlling Salmonella (ICS) only produce LPS tumours after colonization clearance. We tuned expression msbB , controls production immunogenic LPS, by optimizing its ribosomal binding sites protein degradation tags. This genetic system induced a controllable inflammatory response increased dendritic cross‐presentation vitro. The strong off state did not TNFα prevented adverse events when injected into mice. accumulation ICS intravenous injection focused responses specifically tumours.

By increasing efficacy bacterial anti‐cancer therapy, localized could provide options with immune‐resistant cancers.

Coagulopathy in sepsis is common and associated with high mortality. Although immunothrombosis necessary for infection control, excessive thrombus formation can trigger a systemic thrombo-inflammatory response. Immunothrombosis plays core role sepsis-induced coagulopathy, research has revealed complex interplay between inflammation coagulation. Different mechanisms underlying sepsis-related coagulopathy are discussed, including factors contributing to the imbalance of pro- anticoagulation relevant endothelial cells. The potential therapeutic implications anticoagulants on these discussed. This review contributes our understanding pathogenesis patients sepsis. Recent studies suggest that cells play an important immunoregulation hemostasis.
