Identification of distinct #stool metabolites in women with #endometriosis for non-invasive diagnosis and potential for microbiota-based therapies
Context and significanceClinical management of endometriosis, a gynecological disease that is a leading cause of infertility in women, remains a challenge with no known cure. Scientists from Baylor College of Medicine combined the gut metabolomic and microbiota signatures in the stool samples from women with endometriosis to identify a gut-bacteria-derived therapeutic intervention candidate, 4-hydroxyindole. They… Continue reading Identification of distinct #stool metabolites in women with #endometriosis for non-invasive diagnosis and potential for microbiota-based therapies
