Interactions between gut microbiota and metabolites modulate cytokine network imbalances in women with unexplained miscarriage

Abstract A dysregulation of cytokine networks has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of unexplained pregnancy loss. Gut microbiota affects host immune response and induces an imbalance in cytokine levels. However, how gut microbial dysbiosis disturbs cellular immune function in miscar...
