Metabolomics offers new insights into disease mechanisms that is enhanced when adopting orthogonal instrumental platforms to expand metabolome coverage, while also reducing false discoveries by independent replication. Herein, we report the first inter-method comparison when using multisegment injec...
The Hepatitis C Antiviral Long-term Treatment against Cirrhosis (HALT-C) Trial is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term use of pegylated inte...
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid, AA), as vital micro-nutrient, plays an essential role for male animal reproduction. Previously, we showed that vitamin C reprogrammed the transcriptome and proteome to change phenotypes of porcine immature Sertoli cells (iSCs). Here, we used LC-MS-based non-targeted metabol...
Multiple regulatory elements distant to their targets on the linear genome can influence the expression of a single gene through chromatin looping. Chromosome conformation capture implemented in Hi-C allows for genome-wide agnostic characterization of chromatin contacts. However, detection of functi...
Cyclin C was cloned as a growth-promoting G1 cyclin1,2, and several studies postulated a role for cyclin C in driving cell proliferation3-8 . Moreover, cyclin C, together with its kinase partner, the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK8, is believed to represent an essential component of basal transcrip...
The ubiquitous efflux transporter ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 5 (ABCC5) is present at high levels in the blood-brain barrier, neurons and glia, but its function is not known. Untargeted metabolomic screens revealed that Abcc5-/- mice accumulate endogenous glutamate conjugates in several...
Lipidomic profiling allows 100s if not 1000s of lipids in a sample to be detected and quantified. Modern lipidomics techniques are ultra-sensitive assays that enable the discovery of novel biomarkers in a variety of fields and provide new insight in mechanistic investigations. D...
