Aging has shown close link to shifts in the skin microbiome in population cohort study. However, how variations in microbial communities relate to divergent skin aging within individuals of the same chronological ages remains unclear. In this study, we performed phenotypic, metabolomic and metage...

The information available in the literature concerning the beneficial effects of Dendrobium officinale flowers on the skin is limited. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the in vitro biological potency of its aqueous extract and screen its active components. The a...

The complexity of the aging process, encompassing numerous organs and systems, poses a significant challenge in identifying and targeting key factors that drive age-related decline. The multi-organ synchronous molecular intricacies underlying natural aging remain elusive. Here we presented a data...

Emerging evidence suggests a significant role of gut microbiome in bone health. Aging is well recognized as a crucial factor influencing the gut microbiome. In this study, we investigated whether age-dependent microbial change contributes to age-related bone loss in CB6F1 mice. The bone phenotype...

The metabolome includes not just known but also unknown metabolites; however, metabolite annotation remains the bottleneck in untargeted metabolomics. Ion mobility – mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has emerged as a promising technology by providing multi-dimensional characterizations of metabolites. He...

Aging is a complex biological process influenced by genetic factors, environmental conditions, and interactions between organisms and their associated microbes. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster provide complementary model systems for investigati...

In annually reoccurring patterns, microalgae form blooms that persist and decline thereby contributing massively to global biogeochemical cycles. The decline of blooms is mainly caused by nutrient limitation and goes ahead with the aging of individual algal cells. Nutrient intake can re-initiate ...

Advanced maternal age is a key factor in female infertility, primarily due to declines in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. However, the metabolic mechanisms underlying reproductive aging are still poorly understood. Here, we show that uridine levels in the plasma and ovaries of aged mice are s...

Large-scale metabolite annotation is a challenge in liquid chromatogram-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based untargeted metabolomics. Here, we develop a metabolic reaction network (MRN)-based recursive algorithm (MetDNA) that expands metabolite annotations without the need for a comprehensive standard...
