RATIONALE: Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) has long been recognized as a large and dynamic component of the global carbon cycle. Yet, DOM is chemically varied and complex and these attributes present challenges to researchers interested in addressing questions about the rol...
Living organisms are organized into hierarchical levels of increasing complexity. As mutational effects propagate through these levels, multiple phenotypes are produced. However, identifying which phenotypes influence fitness and drive selection remains a key challenge in understanding genotype-p...
Background: Clinacanthus nutans (C. nutans), a Southeast Asian medicinal herb, has ethnopharmacological potential against nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to elucidate the bioactive compounds, potential molecular targets, and regulatory pathways responsible for the anticancer acti...
The gut microbiota is essential to host health. Probiotics can be used as a microbiota targeted therapy to improve host health. However, probiotic molecular mechanisms of action and probiotics targeting the small intestinal microbiota are often not elucidated. In this study, we construct a three ...
Background: Specialised anti-herbivory metabolites are abundant in the solanaceous genus Nicotiana. These metabolites include the large family of 17-hydroxygeranyllinalool diterpene glycosides (HGL-DTGs). Many HGL-DTGs occur exclusively within the Nicotiana genus,...
This study aimed to highlight the relationships between vaginal microbiome composition, metabolic alterations, and gene expression changes during cervical cancer. Multi-omics analysis for the healthy (Z group), abortion (AB group), HPV infection (HP group), and cervical cancer group (CC group), q...
BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a type of recurrent and incurable disease, which can lead to the loss of workability, increase cancer risk and bring serious economic burden to patients. Abnormal intestin...
Pinus radiata seedlings, the most widely planted pine species in the world, were exposed to temperatures within a range mimicking future scenarios based on current models of heat increase. The short-term heat response in P. radiata was studied in detail by exploring the metabolo...
