Solute carrier (SLC) transporters govern most of the chemical exchange across cellular membranes and are integral to metabolic regulation, which in turn is linked to cellular function and identity. Despite their key role, individual functions of the SLC superfamily members were not evaluated syst...
RATIONALE: There is increasing interest in methods of direct analysis mass spectrometry that bypass complex sample preparation steps.
METHODS: One of the most interesting new ionisation methods is rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS) in wh...
This project aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the stable golden-yellow phenotype and enhanced protein accumulation in an Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa mutant (CX41) generated by ARTP mutagenesis. Through comparative analysis between the wild-type (FACHB-9) and mutant s...
The objective of this study was to reveal the effects of early life lactoferrin intervention on the liver metabolism in the suckling piglets. Sixty newborn piglets with an average initial body weight (BW) of 1.51 ± 0.05 kg were assigned to the control (CON) group and the lactoferrin (LF) group. P...
Background: Blocking glycolysis inhibits regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are often hijacked by tumor cells whose survival relies on glycolysis to inhibit antitumor immunity. However, how glycolysis influences Treg proliferation/differentiation remains unclear. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs...
Consumption of sugar-rich diets adversely affects health and reduces life expectancy through the excessive production and storage of triacylglycerides (TAGs) leading to metabolic dysfunction. Here, using Drosophila melanogaster, we identify the conserved Ras/MAPK signalling pathway as a key media...
