An anti-aging protein that has emerged as a critical mediator between heavy metal exposure and chronic kidney disease progression. Originally discovered as a gene whose mutation caused premature aging in mice, alpha-klotho is now understood to be a multifunctional prote…
A 140-amino-acid presynaptic protein whose misfolding into insoluble fibrils and their deposition in Lewy bodies is the defining neuropathological hallmark of parkinsons disease and the broader family of synucleinopathies (including Lewy body dementia and multiple syste…

Direct DNA damage is the primary carcinogenic mechanism for chromium but is notably absent or minor for nickel and arsenic. This distinction is fundamental to understanding why these three metals cause cancer through such different pathways.
Affects approximately 48 million women worldwide (WHO global infertility prevalence estimates). From a microbiome-metallomics perspective, female infertility sits at the intersection of the estrobolome (microbial estrogen metabolism), heavy metal reproductive toxicity (…
Gordonibacter urolithinfaciens is a Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium belonging to the family Eggerthellaceae that plays a specialized and critical role in polyphenol metabolism and conversion of ellagic acid to urolithin A. This microbial conversion is one of…
Polyamines -- putrescine, spermidine, spermine, and cadaverine -- are small polycationic molecules produced by both the host and the gut microbiome. They regulate cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune function. In the gut ecosystem, polyamines are metaboli…
