Sample collection can significantly affect measurements of relative lipid concentrations in cell line panels, hiding intrinsic biological properties of interest between cell lines. Most quality control steps in lipidomic data analysis focus on controlling technical variation. Correcting for the t...
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematologic malignancy despite advances in treatment. While obesity is a well-established risk factor, the underlying metabolic mechanisms by which adipocytes contribute to disease progression remain elusive. Here, we uncover a critical m...
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is known to be a mutually beneficial plant-fungal symbiosis; however, the effect of mycorrhization is heavily dependent on multiple biotic and abiotic factors. Therefore, for the proper employment of such plant-fungal symbiotic systems in agriculture, a detailed underst...
The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). β-glucan (BG), a soluble dietary fiber widely present in oats, barley, fungi, yeast and some bacteria, has multiple bioactive properties such as mitigating intestinal inflammation; however, t...
