Background: Lactoferrin is a natural iron-binding glycoprotein with antimicrobial, immunomodulatory and barrier-protective activities, and it is widely applied in human nutritional supplements and infant food additives, but its application potential in pet food remains undetermined. Th...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies highlight the role of metabolites in immune diseases, but it remains unknown how much of this effect is driven by genetic and non-genetic host factors.
RESULT: We systematically investigate circulating metabolites in a cohort of 5...
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is recognized as an acquired autoimmune hemorrhagic disorder distinguished by diminished platelet counts. The efficacy of a sex-stratified multi-omics integrative analytical strategy for forecasting pediatric ITP chronicity was proposed and validated in this ...
The reverse transsulfuration pathway is the major route for the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. The role of this metabolic pathway in macrophage response and function is unknown. We show that the enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) is induced in macrophages infected with pathogenic ba...
AIMS: Previous metabolomics studies suggest that type 1 diabetes is preceded by specific metabolic disturbances. The aim of this study was to investigate whether distinct metabolic patterns occur in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of children who later develop pancreat...
