Iron is an essential nutrient for many critical cellular processes. As a consequence of diverse and dynamic host environments, the obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii must adapt to iron limited conditions. To investigate the adaptations critical to parasite survival under these cond...

As sleep loss leads to accidents and impaired safety, a direct metabolic marker would be beneficial for forensic interpretation.

In a sufficiently powered, randomized, controlled, crossover trial under realistic conditions, we examined the salivary metabolome of 20 young men (habitual slee...

GBM displays profound iron dependence and metabolic plasticity, yet how iron deprivation interfaces with stress-response pathways and amino acid metabolism in glioma remains incompletely understood. DFO, an iron chelator and hypoxia mimetic, is widely used experimentally, but the integration of a...

Variation in food availability can shape host susceptibility and pathogen virulence, thereby impacting disease outcomes. An ad libitum diet may enhance host physiology and immunity but it can also favor pathogen proliferation. Here, we investigated how food availability (ad libitum vs. starvation...

Mass spectrometry–based proteomic analysis of an osteocyte line, MLO-Y4, was conducted to profile global protein expression changes under two experimental settings, 1) CRISPR-Cas9-based knockout of CFTR versus wild-type; 2) Cl- deprivation versus normal extracellular medium.

Drastic alteration in macronutrients causes large changes in gene expression in the photosynthetic unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Preliminary data suggested that cells follow a biphasic response to this change hinging on the initiation of lipid accumulation, and we hypothesized that ...
