A recent study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London explored the glycomics of cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) in pregnant women at high risk of preterm birth. The study found that the glycan epitopes in the CVF play a crucial role in microbiota-host interactions and the regulation of inflammatory responses. The researchers identified immuno-regulatory epitopes, such as Lewis antigens, and observed correlations between specific glycan structures and pro-inflammatory factors. The findings provide insights into the role of glycosylation in maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome and have implications for women's health. [Extracted from the article] |
