Single-cell metabolomics reveals cell heterogeneity and elucidates intracellular molecular mechanisms. However, general concentration measurement of metabolites can only provide a static delineation of metabolomics, lacking the metabolic activity information of biological pathways. Herein, we dev...
Macrophage-derived foam cell plays a pivotal role in the plaque formation and rupture during the progression of atherosclerosis. Foam cells are destined to divergent cell fate and functions in response to external stimuli based on their internal states, which however is hidden in the traditional ...
Scope: The Caco2/HT29-MTX co-culture system is widely used as a cell model of the intestinal epithelium. Although the gut epithelium plays an important role in the uptake of free fatty acids and the resynthesis of triglycerides, the lipid distribution profile of the two-dimensional co-culture sys...
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...
