Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) urgently needs effective therapies due to limited targeted options and unfavorable outcomes. We investigated Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim formula granules (TKM) using integrated network pharmacology, metabolomics, and molecular pharmacology to cla...
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...
Cells maintain metabolite homeostasis (metabolostasis) by buffering fluctuations in metabolite levels, yet the limits of this buffering and the mechanisms underlying metabolic toxicity remain poorly understood. To study this, we systematically overfed metabolites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and q...
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disorder with no effective disease-modifying drugs. Liubao tea, a traditional Chinese dark tea, possesses various bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory and gut microbiota-regulating effects. However, its potential therapeutic role and m...
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...
