Pregnancy is a unique physiological stage characterized by the coordinated remodeling of maternal metabolism, immunity, and endocrine systems. Previous studies have primarily focused on the local uterine microenvironment, neglecting the role of the maternal gut microbiota in mediating distal, cross-organ regulation via...
