Livestock diseases caused by Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax and T. brucei, collectively known as nagana, are responsible for billions of dollars in lost food production annually. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutics. Encouragingly, promising antitrypanosomal benzoxaboroles are under v...

The apicoplast is a four-membrane plastid found in the apicomplexans, which harbors biosynthesis and organelle housekeeping activities in the matrix. However, the mechanism driving the flux of metabolites, in and out, remains unknown. Here we used TurboID and genome engineering to identify apicop...
The Chinese caterpillar fungus, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, is a valuable medicinal entomopathogenic fungus, but artificial cultivation is hindered by fruiting body abortion, severely impacting yield and quality. The interactions between the fungus, its host insects, and soil are critical for its de...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a common and deadly form of brain tumor in adults. Dysregulated metabolism in GBM offers an opportunity to deploy metabolic interventions as precise therapeutic strategies. To identify the molecular drivers and the modalities by which different molecular subgroups of GBM exp...
Despite intensive research and constant medical progress, sepsis remains one of the most urgent unmet medical needs of today. Most studies have been focused on the inflammatory component of the disease, however, recent advances support the notion that sepsis is accompanied by extensive metabolic ...
The purpose of this study was to investigate how C. difficile metabolism differs between strains as a function of diet. We used three C. difficile strains (R20291, Cd4, and Cd10). Each strain was grown in three different media conditions designed to mimic different diet conditio...
