Vaginal lactobacilli are key regulators of host inflammation, yet the mechanisms remain understudied. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Glick et al. identify a family of beta-carbolines as anti-inflammatory effectors produced by vaginal Lactobacillus species, highlighting their potential as therapeutics for vaginal inflammatory disorders.

β-卡博林抑制阴道炎症


阴道乳酸杆菌是宿主炎症的关键调节因子，但其机制仍未得到充分研究。在本期的Cell Host & Microbe中，Glick等人确定了由阴道乳酸菌产生的β-carboline家族作为抗炎效应器，突出了它们作为阴道炎症疾病治疗的潜力。
