Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technologies, which more closely mimic the complex microenvironment of tissue, are being increasingly evaluated as a tool for the preclinical screening of clinically promising new molecules, and studying of tissue metabolism. Studies of metabolites released int...

Breast cancer metastasis occurs via blood and lymphatic vessels. Breast cancer cells 'educate' lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to support tumor vascularization and growth. However, despite known metabolic alterations in breast cancer, it remains unclear how lymphatic endothelial cell metabolis...

Cell culture is generally considered to be hyperoxic. However, the importance of cellular oxygen consumption is often underappreciated, with rates of oxygen consumption often sufficient to cause hypoxia at cell monolayers. We initially focused on cultured adipocytes as a terminally differentiated...

INTRODUCTION: A decline in mitochondrial function represents a key factor of a large number of inborn errors of metabolism, which lead to an extremely heterogeneous group of disorders.

OBJECTIVES: To gain insight into the biochemical consequences of mitocho...

Research Question: Can metabolomic profiling of blastocyst spent culture medium (SCM) serve as a non-invasive tool to predict live birth?

Design: This pilot study investigated the association between metabolite profiles in SCM and clinical outcomes following single blastocyst transfer. Seve...

One of the major bottlenecks in describing marine ecosystems is characterizing the metabolome of seawater, as salt prevents metabolite analysis. We present SeaMet, a method that can detect hundreds of metabolites in less than one ml of seawater and quantifies them down to nano-molar levels using ...

Epichloë sinensis, associated with Festuca sinensis, exhibits rich morphological, genetic and functional diversity across different strains. To comprehensively evaluate the categories and difference in the secondary metabolites of different E. sinensis strains and thereby...
