Recent evidence shows elevated circulating long-chain ceramide levels predicts atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) independently of cholesterol. Although targeting ceramides signaling may provide therapeutic benefits beyond the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, the underlying mechanis...

Optimal handling is the most important means to ensure adequate sample quality. We aimed to investigate whether pre-centrifugation delay time and temperature could be accurately predicted and to what extent variability induced by pre-centrifugation management can be adjusted for. We used untarget...

Mature milk, as a nutrient-rich endogenous metabolite, has various beneficial effects on the human body. In order to investigate the specific nutrients provided by different dairy products to humans, we used UHPLC-Q-TOF MS to analyze the highly significantly differentially expressed metabolites i...

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) possess the capacity for spontaneous reprogramming during in vitro culture, while the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially why addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) remarkably enhanced transition efficien...
